System.Net.WebClient and redirection

I'm grabbing web page using WebClient, and I would like to know if that page
has a redirection...
how could I know that?
is there any dinamyc property in WebClient?

Hello, buu!

WebClient class instance has AllowAutoRedirect set true. So it has to
automatically follow redirection responses.

Hello, buu!

When using HttpWebRequest it automatically handles redirects, unless you
disable it with the AllowAutoRedirect=false

When disabled you'll get the page with redirect information and will have to
make redirection manually.
In this case HTTP status code returned will be 301.

New location of a resource will be specified under header "Location"
