Web Record Should Record Initial URLs, not redirects
When you record against web sites that generate redirects (HTTP 302), the last URL hit is recorded which is often incorrect for the site to actually use. It should record the initial site and then follow the re-directs on playback (according to the property for that test step.)
In the particular case I noticed didn't work, my recording followed a login attempt using a POST. But the step generated was a GET on the initial page after login. Obviously replaying this would (and does) completely fail.
