- Added a new optional attribute `follow_redirects` to control HTTP redirect behavior. - Updated the `Read` method to handle the no-follow behavior when `follow_redirects` is set to false. - Introduced a new test `TestDataSource_FollowRedirects` to verify the functionality of the redirect handling.

IF you want to go the extra mile add a test with follow_redirects = true

Hi @srlynch1, thank you for your contribution! 😄 This looks pretty reasonable, I just wanted to ask if you could create a changelog entry for this as an enhancement. |

This feature implements an optional attribute follow_redirects, the default behaviour today is to directly follow the Location header.
Some APIs expect data is read from the Location header, rather than directly followed. A common example of this is Red Hat OpenShift oauth authentication flow.
This feature allows for an optional attribute follow_redirects = false, in this scenario the Location header redirect will not be followed and returned headers will be available in the the headers map.
If optional follow_redirects is either true or not supplied the behaviour is as it is today.
