Re: [whatwg/fetch] Why does Fetch specify a max redirect count of 20? (#576)

One thing that may present a challenge for us lowering - we consider certain types of internally-generated rewrites (extensions, HSTS) as redirects for purposes of redirect counting. I believe, perhaps incorrectly, that Firefox does something similar with HSTS rewrites.

@cdumez Do you know what CFNetwork does in that space? I don't know if CFNetwork handles HSTS or whether that's added by the Safari layering atop, and I don't know whether or not that's counted as a redirect for purposes of limits.
