There are not many, but you can find some in devdoc/. I should add them 
somehow to the website as well.

Essentially the cache keeps a list of entries for connections in 
progress. When data is received, the callback for that entry is called 
to forward the data. But when a redirect is received, currently Dillo 
navigates to the new URL, as if you typed it in the location bar.

What we need to support first is to allow the cache to fetch the new URL 
instead of changing the root URL of the current document. I believe we 
can do this by adding a new entry to the cache with the new URL and 
copying the callback and other related data, or simply reusing the same 
entry while we update the URL.

I took a look at the time but I wasn't able to come up with a quick 
solution so I didn't look further. I will eventually take a look at it, 
but feel free to poke with the cache code in the meanwhile.

Best,
Rodrigo.
