Currently net/http's client Get Post PostForm and other functions do not expose any redirect urls they followed. This forces you to craft your own request and use Do even if you just need to follow a single url and know what it is you followed.

If you need such information, you can use the CheckRedirect hook of http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#Client

We try to keep the simple things simple.

And obviously we can't change the signature of existing APIs due to the Go 1 API compatibility promise.
