* 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.
*
* @see nsIAsyncVerifyRedirectCallback::onRedirectVerifyCallback()
*
* @param oldChannel
* The channel that's being redirected.
* @param newChannel

* One of REDIRECT_TEMPORARY and REDIRECT_PERMANENT will always be
* set.

* Object to inform about the async result of this method
