			# A client wrapper which transparently handles redirects to a given maximum number of hops.
			#
			# The default implementation will only follow relative locations (i.e. those without a scheme) and will switch to GET if the original request was not a GET.
			#
			# The best reference for these semantics is defined by the [Fetch specification](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#http-redirect-fetch).
			#
			# | Redirect using GET                        | Permanent | Temporary |
			# |:-----------------------------------------:|:---------:|:---------:|
			# | Allowed                                   | 301       | 302       |
			# | Preserve original method                  | 308       | 307       |

			# For the specific details of the redirect handling, see:
