Allow HTTP redirects for file downloads #458

Closed alexdewar closed 3 months ago

alexdewar commented 3 months ago

It turns out GitHub often redirects file downloads to another URL, which the current code won't handle. Fix by telling libcurl to allow this (it's disabled by default).

Fixes #457.

With this fix, we can finally use data from the healthgps-data repo as an input source directly :smile:

PS -- I noticed download_file() was pointlessly returning an input argument, so I removed it.
