HTTP/Request2 could use socket as its adapter.  How about changing line
404 of "oauthhelper.class.php" from

            'adapter' => 'HTTP_Request2_Adapter_Curl',

to

            'adapter' => 'HTTP_Request2_Adapter_Socket',

and seeing how it will work out?  Or, HTTP/Request2 with socket as its
adapter doesn't support redirects?
