fetch not following redirects

quick question about the HTTP Actions: I'm getting some inconsistencies in how the Fetch API works, and I'm not sure if they're expected

I have a shortlink, and if I fetch it, I would expect it to follow that redirect and then set

req.url

req.url

to the target URL. in Node, this happens how I expect. in Convex, I'm still getting the shortlink in

req.url

req.url

const res = await fetch('https://example.com/shortlink');
const headers = res.headers;

console.log(res.url);

const res = await fetch('https://example.com/shortlink');
const headers = res.headers;

console.log(res.url);

is this intended behavior?
