Comment:

 Hi all,

 I've tried to replicate the issue, but it works as expected for me on WP
 6.8.3.

 Here is my environment info:
 {{{
 === Environment
 - WordPress: 6.8.3
 - PHP: 8.4.10
 - Server: nginx/1.26.1
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.0.35 / Client: mysqlnd 8.4.10)
 - Browser: Chrome 140.0.0.0
 - OS: macOS
 - Theme: Twenty Twelve 4.6
 - MU Plugins:
   * z.php
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.0

 === Actual Results
 1.  ❌ Error condition does not occur.

 === Additional Notes

 Nginx config:
 location = /trac54556 {
     return 302 /new-trac54556;
 }

 location = /new-trac54556 {
     return 200 "Hi";
 }


 Code used to confirm redirect URL is returned:

 $response = wp_remote_get( "http://vanilla.local/trac54556", [
 'redirection' => 0 ] );
 $redirect_to = wp_remote_retrieve_header( $response, 'location' );
 echo '<pre>$redirect_to<br>' . print_r( $redirect_to, true ) . '</pre>';

 Returns: http://vanilla.local:10008/new-trac54556
 }}}

 Since this ticket has been opened for ~4 years with no other reports, I'm
 going to close this to help clean up Trac. If this is still an issue for
 you, please feel free to reopen and provide any environmental information
 necessary to reproduce.
