+18.21 retry on the redirected-to URL
+
+ When curl is told to --retry a failed transfer and follows redirects, it
+ might get a HTTP 429 response from the redirected-to URL and not the original
+ one, which then could make curl decide to rather retry the transfer on that
+ URL only instead of the original operation to the original URL.
+
+ Perhaps extra emphasized if the original transfer is a large POST that
+ redirects to a separate GET, and that GET is what gets the 529
