If that's the concern, I'd much rather just expose a function to help with dealing with redirects, rather than sticking a rather arbitrary [Ascii] in everyone's Response. I think a function along the lines of: checkRedirect :: Response -> Maybe Request would fit the bill, and could be extracted from the current `http` function.
