That means if aUrl was "http://google.com", then sending the proposed message to aResponse should yield "http://www.google.com," as a request for the former results in a redirection (301) to the latter. This is doable with HTTPSocket:

I think it would be nice if both WebRequest and WebResponse could give you absolute URLs representing them. "finalUrl" was probably a poor choice of name; "absoluteUrl" would be better.
