For instance, a redirectCount property, default value would be
something like Infinity (the user agent could then cap the maximum
amount of redirects), and setting it to 0 would prevent any redirect,
and setting to something greater than 0 would then limit the redirect
chain to that number.
If the last http request was 302 and the redirection prevented, then
the 302 status code and the last response headers would be returned by
the XHR obj.
What is the use case?

Some that come to mind quickly:
- Depending on the redirect status, you may want to stop accessing the
original URI.
- Depending on the method, you may want to confirm with the user whether
automatically following the redirect is ok.
- You may want to display the actual URI somewhere in the UI.
