New feature, improvement proposal

Currently the given externalJavadocBaseUrl is being used first to construct a target url (e.g. to element-list) and then it is requested. This fails when there is no deep redirect support. For example the Oracle URL https://docs.oracle.com/javase/11/docs/api/ redirects to https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/index.html but https://docs.oracle.com/javase/11/docs/api/element-list is also redirected to https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/index.html instead of https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/element-list.

In order to support redirects which always redirect to the index page, the request url should be constructed after the redirect target has been been resolved.

This requires some change in
