I do not know QT at all, and my C++ is also quite rusty.  But when I
had a look at that code and Googled QNetworkRequest, the thought I had
was to make the original query have the
QNetworkRequest::FollowRedirectsAttribute flag, so that it would
automatically follow any redirects without any further intervention.
