bug#24490: 25.1; restclient no longer sends auth header upon redirect

Well, curl gives you back the 303 (See Other) with
the Location header, unless you add -L (follow redirection)
in which case it reposts any original header (including Authorization) to
the new location.  i.e. "it just works".

What would be nice for restclient is a separate keystroke
which either does or does not follow the redirection; sometimes
you want to debug the initial hop.  But the default should be
to do what it does now, which is to follow; i.e. "act like a browser".

Hope this helps.
