What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Visit a site that redirects. E.g.,
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P6FbU4baWk&feature=dir sends me (in the UK)
    to http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_P6FbU4baWk&feature=dir
  2. Observe that Sloppy allows this redirect to the browser, meaning the
    resulting content is not passing through Sloppy (the browser URL will not
    be 127.0.0.1)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

In this case, Sloppy should try to fetch the content of the redirected URL
and pass that on to the browser. There would need to be some safety
mechanism to prevent infinate loops.
