Hey y'all,

Copying this over from a reply I made to tor-talk (since I mentioned
it over in the #tor-onions IRC channel).

Basically 1) confirming that alt-svc does seem to work consistently in
newer TBB, and 2) a fun accident in sending a HTTP 302 to folks that
get to the onion via alt-svc.

Anyway, that was a fun and awesome surprise. Perhaps should be
obvious, but honestly I had no idea how the alt-svc behavior was going
to work.

Hopefully this is helpful to others?
