I'm sure 1000 people have said this before me, but here it is again to
show we really want this feature.
I think the XMLHttpRequest object should handle all status codes during
a GET, POST or PUT requests. More specifically, redirects codes (30x)
should be set and the "onreadystatechange" event should be fired. I
don't see any problem with transparent redirects, not everyone cares if
a request gets redirected. However, if someone checks the status code
during the onreadystatechange event and it returns a 30x value they
should be able to abort the request.
RFC2616 forbids automatically following redirects on unsafe methods.
