Location: is a response header, sent by the server to the client. At the
time BeforeNavigate2 is called, no request has been made yet, so
response headers can't possibly be available.

The easiest way to detect redirections is to remember a URL in
BeforeNavigate2, then in NavigateComplete2 retrieve the final URL with
document.location.href. The former is the URL the navigation started
with (e.g. the URL specified in the link being clicked), the latter is
the final target of a chain of redirects, if any.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
