Judging by the Location header in the reply you expect, KIO::get is
automatically redirecting the request, which is, I think, a very good
thing (the one time I wanted to use KIO::get I wanted to do exactly
that). You then need to go with something more basic, like
QNetworkAccessManager's head method to get the headers and do nothing
more. The attached patch against your sources achieves that (assuming
you have an error on the URL in the code).
