FixedHTTPRedirectHandler currently copies request headers when following
redirects. The first patch drops Authorization and Cookie when the
redirect target has a different origin.

The second patch adds local HTTP server tests covering both same-origin
and different-origin redirects.

Anders Heimer (2):
  fetch2/wget: limit auth on checkstatus redirects
  tests/fetch: cover checkstatus redirect auth handling
