Default redirect = follow which is not the same as Cloudflare's runtime

[mjhaller]

With a local cloudworker instance, the default value of redirect is "follow":

addEventListener('fetch', event => {
  event.respondWith(new Response(`request.redirect = ${event.request.redirect}`));
})

$ curl http://localhost:9000
request.redirect = follow

With Cloudflare's runtime it is manual

It is clear from the docs - https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/reference/apis/request/ that this should be manual for the request in the fetchEvent.

[...] Note: default for requests generated from the incoming fetchEvent from the event handler is manual.

This of course leads to some very odd behaviors which are hard to track down. Am I missing something? Why is this follow by default?
