This logic should work as long as we are also supporting the scenario where a redirection to the same host also results in the safe headers being copied, which I assume is the case since you're not completely overriding axios' redirection behavior (presumably) :)

Those scenarios are covered by the unit tests now and yes, we are not overriding the whole redirection behavior, it's just a sort of post-processing in the chain, before sending the next, redirected request.

Agreed! I also change the protocols in my Python core PR, because I used HTTP there too.

need to add tests for redirects to the same host:
- both are region1.cloud.ibm.com
- both are region2.notcloud.ibm.com
