The standard Go HTTP client follows redirections by default. You can disable it with a custom CheckRedirect function in the client. But you cannot disable it for a single request, it's all or nothing. Terrible design.
A workaround is to use Client.Transport.RoundTrip() which will bypass the whole redirection logic of Client.Do(), but if you do so you will also miss features such as request cancellation.
