Olli Pettay 524e95c9e4 Bug 1732250, use the original URI from the old channel when updating session history entry, r=peterv,necko-reviewers,valentin
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/1df999af9999ccb436512cfece57a68d94d36e08/netwerk/protocol/http/nsHttpChannel.cpp#2876
makes original uri handling in the channel rather magical. The value of it on the new channel is bogus during
AsyncOnChannelRedirect call, and nsIChannel.idl doesn't hint about that behavior.

browser_getNavigationHistory.js can work as a testcase once it is enabled for Fission.

/**
* Called when a redirect occurs. This may happen due to an HTTP 3xx status
* code. The purpose of this method is to notify the sink that a redirect
* is about to happen, but also to give the sink the right to veto the
* redirect by throwing or passing a failure-code in the callback.
*
* Note that vetoing the redirect simply means that |newChannel| will not
* be opened. It is important to understand that |oldChannel| will continue
* loading as if it received a HTTP 200, which includes notifying observers
* and possibly display or process content attached to the HTTP response.
* If the sink wants to prevent this loading it must explicitly deal with
* it, e.g. by calling |oldChannel->Cancel()|
*
* There is a certain freedom in implementing this method:
*
* If the return-value indicates success, a callback on |callback| is
* required. This callback can be done from within asyncOnChannelRedirect
* (effectively making the call synchronous) or at some point later
* (making the call asynchronous). Repeat: A callback must be done
* if this method returns successfully.
*
* If the return value indicates error (method throws an exception)
* the redirect is vetoed and no callback must be done. Repeat: No
* callback must be done if this method throws!
*
* NOTE: originalURI isn't yet set on the new channel when
* asyncOnChannelRedirect is called.
