+ * is about to happen, but also to give the sink the right to veto the
+ * redirect by throwing or passing a failure-code in the callback.
+ *
+ * Note that vetoing the redirect simply means that |newChannel| will not
+ * be opened. It is important to understand that |oldChannel| will continue
+ * loading as if it received a HTTP 200, which includes notifying observers
+ * and possibly display or process content attached to the HTTP response.
+ * If the sink wants to prevent this loading it must explicitly deal with
+ * it, e.g. by calling |oldChannel->Cancel()|
+ *
+ * There is a certain freedom in implementing this method:
+ *
+ * If the return-value indicates success, a callback on |callback| is
+ * required. This callback can be done from within asyncOnChannelRedirect
+ * (effectively making the call synchronous) or at some point later
+ * (making the call asynchronous). Repeat: A callback must be done
+ * if this method returns successfully.
+ *
+ * If the return value indicates error (method throws an exception)
+ * the redirect is vetoed and no callback must be done. Repeat: No
+ * callback must be done if this method throws!

+ * of flags from above.
