Hmm. http://google.com/ definitely redirects here too, but the URI
property does not change in my test case.

Another test case is http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libsoup
This does redirect to http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libsoup/
(trailing slash added).

But in the same test, the URI property does not change.

Anyway, good to know how this is supposed to work. I will dig into the
code and see if I can find an explanation.

Thanks
