With the current FCP implementation would be application writers have to handle metadata parsing for redirects themselves. This seems like an unreasonable burden, especially given that Oskar has already written a metadata handling system.
I propose that we add an optional MetadataHint message to the ClientGet FCP handling. This message, sent after the final DataChunk, would contain the next URI to request if the request was a redirect. While somewhat less ambitious (read easier to implement) than the initial FCP level 2 proposal, MetadataHints would allow application writers to easily handle redirected requests without having to parse metadata. I checked in an initial implementation.
