Linux Redirection Issue.How to implement automatic redirection in linux?

[lycug]

1. I resovled the response headers from sever1 ,and get the value of header filed "Location",means the redirection uri.
2. I construct a http_client instance using the redirection uri from the step 1, and send request to the redirected sever2.
3. I got the response from the sever2.

So,it is a "redirection" implementation, but it produces a lot of problem.like:

1. it doesn't think of the problem about muilt-redirection(i mean muiltple hops redirection).
2. In step 2, i construct a new http_client instance,not use the original client,i think it is a wast .

So,i want to know how to use one http_client instance to implement the muil-redirection by CPPREST.
Thinks.

👍 I am also seeing this issue on OSX, looking through the issues it seems windows implements this automatically but the boost ASIO implementation doesn't, is the intention to support automatic redirects here?

I've got a PR for automatic redirection here: #373

Bump, for OSX interest.
