Bug ID: 26238
Summary: Add follow redirects back into WHATWG XHR
specification
Product: WebAppsWG
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: XHR

Add follow redirects back into WHATWG XHR specification:
http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/
As mentioned on this post:
http://discourse.specifiction.org/t/followredirects-in-xmlhttprequest/420/11?u=jonathank
The intent is to put back in the followRedirects feature which was a security
improvement from the client side to prevent calls following to unexpected URL
changes.
The expected result when the AJAX request returns a redirect code and
followRedirects is disabled then it should return a network error.
This should follow the same definition as the original specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-XMLHttpRequest2-20100907/#the-followredirects-attribute
However it shouldn't return a response if there is a redirect just a network
error to the callbacks.
