improvements

security

• when using :follow_redirects plugin, the "authorization" header will be removed when following redirect responses to a different origin.

bugfixes

• fixed :stream plugin not following redirect responses when used with the :follow_redirects plugin.
• fixed :stream plugin not doing content decoding when responses were p.ex. gzip-compressed.
• fixed bug preventing usage of IPv6 loopback or link-local addresses in the request URL in systems with no IPv6 internet connectivity (the request was left hanging).
• protect all code which may initiate a new connection from abrupt errors (such as internet turned off), as it was done on the initial request call.

chore

internal usage of mutex_m has been removed (mutex_m is going to be deprecated in ruby 3.3).
