Description

Title says it all. Tesla's Auth API requires 2 redirects to be followed, one of which has a token in as a query parameter in the URL.

It seems with the current implementation of HTTPClient I can only stop all redirects, and follow them myself.

It would be nice to just have a history available of all redirects following when a request is finished.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating HTTPClient's redirect-handling entry point and any existing redirect tests. Define and test how multiple redirects, including query-token URLs, are recorded and exposed after completion while preserving the existing follow-or-stop behavior.
