How about enabling the setting on a per-request basis first? In that 
case, the normal way would be to add a new value to the 
QNetworkRequest::Attribute enum, and a boolean would be enough I think.

In general I also think it would be a good thing to have a way of 
setting such things globally in QNetworkAccessManager, but that would 
require some more API in that class then...

So maybe we could have 2 commits: One that enables redirect settings on 
a request first, and then introduce global QNetworkAccessManager 
settings (which might be some more work)...
