REST Client follows redirects

Answered

The builtin REST Client seems to follow redirects automatically.
I would like to see a redirect response header, but a response of the redirected page is shown.
It would be nice if REST Client has an option that enables it to follow redirects or not.

Surprised so little discussion about this issue. Keeps me from using the REST client in favor of other, more explicit clients.

I just created an account to be able comment here.
Please definitely add an option to not follow redirects. I am developing an OAuth2 server which responds with a redirect, and I cannot test it with the REST client tool cause I don't see the response.
