Add support for following HTTP 302 and 301 redirects #52

When the user sets a booruUrl with www. in the UI but the philomena website has a http redirect to the domain without www, querying the API for search results fails silently.

It would be nice if the app would support HTTP 301 or HTTP 302 responses and follow them to the correct search api page, or at least handle such responses by properly handling them.

Are you using v2.1.0?

I tried to reproduce this in 3.0.0-alpha.1 using https://www.manebooru.art, which redirects to https://manebooru.art, and it successfully downloads images
