Comment 5 for bug 1465000

Right. Currently we are conservative about redirects, and that is
probably because an adversary might try to reroute traffic through
themselves in inappropriate ways. However, it mostly results in cases
where networking fails in silent and hard to debug ways on Ubuntu but
works just fine on most but not all other devices. We wasted a lot of
time with the SA team in Malta working on Orange Boxes because of this,
for example. Most people just don't know how that works so can't figure
out why something that looks like it should work, fails.
