Why isn't followRedirect / followRedirects supported?

[tp]

It seems to me, that requests made with browser-requests never follow redirects, but rather return the 30x response.

I just found the source for the error, that it's not supported:

browser-request/index.js

Line 57 in d99a386

var unsupported_options = ['proxy', '_redirectsFollowed', 'maxRedirects', 'followRedirect']

Could you please document / mention the reason why it's not supported?

(And for those wanting redirect support I suppose we have to handle the 30x response ourselves, right?)

I think it is the other way.. XMLHttpRequest, which is the underlying library in the browser does not let you intercept redirects, so browser-request cannot support the followRedirect option which the standard request library does
