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

@ddragana I'm not sure I understand your question/comment?

I'm probably not a good person for this, as I've transitioned off of Chrome Networking, but as explained in https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/576#issuecomment-322244707 , the layering does not really lend itself to tracking internal-redirects from network-redirects, throughout the stack. So we don't have metrics that can measure network-only requests, nor can we presently implement a network-only redirect limit. And for something like HSTS, it's entirely reasonable to question "what is a network redirect", and then that also interacts with understanding extensions that try to be HSTS-like and how they should be treated. Certainly, trying to do something "network-only" will be much more work, and I wouldn't know who would own that work now.
