Do you know what version of the libraries it is implemented in? Must I use 
HEAD? I think I tried it in 3.2 and it didn't work.

Let me get one thing straight: redirection does not change the URL that the 
user sees, correct? So in the above example the user would still see foobar:/ 
even though they were acceess foobar:///$USER? At least that's what happens 
for get(). 

My concern is actually redirecting to a URL _outside_ the current protocol.  
If I stat a URL such as resources:/wallpaper/picture.jpg that redirects to 
file:/usr/local/kde/share/wallpapers/picture.jpg (just for sake of argument), 
I don't want the returned UDSEntry to contain an UDS_URL equal to the second 
URL. Preferably no UDS_URL at all.

Confused yet? Why don't I just look at the source instead of asking these 
painstaking questions?
