Fixes Bug #28277 by allowing redirects on the stream reader. Fixes a

regression where pages specifying a w:en:Sprint would result in a url
like http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Special:Export/Sprint which, at
least in 1.16, would mean the reader follow the redirect to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/Sprint.
