Redirect url compatible with download managers

[Nan0]

Hey guys, I'm working on a custom link shortening, similar to tinyurl. Is made in php
My problem is that I do the redirect does not support download managers.
When I add the short link to any download manager, the long url is not recognized.
This is how I do the redirect:


.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?id=$1 

index.php:

<?php
    //$url ; get long url from database based in id
    $url = 'http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H4N9E047';
    header( "HTTP/1.1 302 Found" );
    header( 'Location: '.$url.''  );
    exit;
?>

I've also tried as follows:
index.php:

<?php
//$url ; get long url from database based in id
$url = 'http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H4N9E047';
header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( 'Location: '.$url.''  );
exit;
?>

any idea?
Thanks for your time.

Sorry about that

Your php code is fine.
Test your response header by calling the url with curl

curl -I http://your.url
