... And so if one wants zero redirects, one should set max_redirect to 1 really ... NO, that's wrong. Use only `requests_redirectable` method.	[reply] [d/l]

imho, `max_redirect => 0` should not warn. I'm with AnonyMonk above in that this smells like a bug (whether doc or code, I digress). If a parameter such as one that has "max" in its name is set to zero, it should not trigger a warning like this. Perhaps there's a good reason for it, but that would make it a doc bug. Otherwise, if I say "max something is zero", then any warnings/errors should be ignored, which would be a code bug. After a cursory review, the documentation does not handle this situation, and it should.	[reply] [d/l]
