This is not, possible in the general case, as pages can have multiple addresses, but the browser will only know, at most, the address used in the request and the address returned in the Location header. Whilst the latter is likely to be the official address of the actual variant used (give or take broken servers), one would expect addresses in pages to be those prior to content-negotiation, so the Location header value may be of little use.
