Upgrade-Insecure-Requests happen at WebKit-level and we could probably easily count them towards a WebKit-level max redirect count if we wanted to. Given that CFNetwork would go to up to 16 *HTTP* redirects, WebKit can artificially limit further by taking into account U-I-R.

HSTS is another issue though. I believe this happens below WebKit, at CFNetwork level. I'll ask but I am not sure WebKit is aware of HSTS currently.
