You need to read up a bit about HTTP protocol first if you really wanna try your hands at direct client calling.

302 is temporary redirect header which is sent back from the server. The response has another header named 'Location' whose value is a URL to which the server wants you to hit next. Browsers handle this automatically so you dont see a wait thing.

But if you want to do it yourself be sure ot handle all 301, 302 situations like these.

Best Of Luck.
