For example, consider this link: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11.epub.noimages?session_id=f5e86ca4851e170ddff0965a4b0f164577932ed6 (the epub link from http://m.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11.mobile, in case that session key expires). A few 302 redirects later, it ends up at http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/11/pg11.epub?session_id=f5e86ca4851e170ddff0965a4b0f164577932ed6, from where the epub file will be served (with response 200). But it also includes a redirect header back to the HTML page, for browsers. We should get the epub file and ignore this last redirect, but instead we follow it and ignore the epub file.
