HTTP 302 isn't an error:

The HTTP response status code 302 Found is a common way of performing URL redirection.

You can handle HTTP 302 Found by retrieving the URL shown in the Location response header.

Instead of using http.get, you might want to consider using the request library as suggested in this answer. request should automatically follow the redirect.
