[Development] Proposal for allowing handling of HTTP redirects in QNAM

Okay. I think Richard also suggested the same approach, i.e as long as
we are being redirected, we don't emit the downloadProgress (and other
signals indicating there is data available) and do it only once we
arrive at the final url (though we continue to read the full response
of each redirect). So the final signals will reflect the data as if
the request was made directly to that url. Is that your understanding
too?
