Ah, it's url-automatic-caching which defaults to nil.  After setting to
t I can reproduce the error.

It seems to me that 3xx HTTP errors should not signal a file-error, as
they merely indicate redirects or similar.  Probably not a good idea to
start messing with error handling in the release branch though.

So I would suggest that your fix could go to emacs-26 but marked not to
merge to master, and master could be changed not to signal error on 3xx
HTTP codes.  What do you think?
