This can cause unexpected behaviour for web-sites that redirect to a local
server.
E.g. if www.example.com redirects to www.example.co.uk.
In this case the server will probably return cookies for both URLs, but JMeter
will only see the cookies for the last
-host, i.e. www.example.co.uk. If the next request uses www.example.com,
+host, i.e. www.example.co.uk. If the next request in the test plan uses
www.example.com,
rather than www.example.co.uk, it will not get the correct cookies.
+Likewise, Headers are sent for the initial request, and won't be sent for the
redirect.
This is generally only a problem for manually created test plans,
as a test plan created using a recorder would continue from the redirected URL.
