from gi.repository import Soup

I tried that, and it doesn't seem to work.

session = Soup.SessionSync()
uri = Soup.URI.new("http://www.google.com";)
m = Soup.Message(uri=uri)
session.send_message(m)
print m.get_uri().to_string(False)
print m.get_property('uri').to_string(False)

Output is
http://www.google.com/
http://www.google.com/

but google definitely redirects. Tested with libsoup-2.42.2
