Sounds good to me as well; while technically a site often sends a body 
with a redirect, in practice all the information needed is stored in the 
"Location:" header. So we could just discard the body for redirecting 
replies in the "follow automatic redirects" case. If an app does want to 
use the body, it could still handle redirects itself...
