Discover URL string in redirections

Do any browsers keep a log of the redirection URL's?

So many times i have needed to know the redirection URL's of a website... some URL's redirect several times before arriving at a different web address.

The URL's often change so quickly you can't see them in the browser bar.

Any browsers at there keep a record of all redirection URL's?

Example,
Click on www.widgets.com redirects to
www.widgets.com/redirect344342348237482347234/.php redirects to
www.widget.com/redirectscript.php redirects to
www.widgets.com/cars.htm

I'd really find a browser that would keep a copy of them all very useful

If you have Firefox, check out the Live HTTP Headers extension - you can record the entire redirection header sequence when you click on a link.

That is useful but still a little complicated,

I would rather something that just listed the URL redirections...

1) www.rds.yahoo.com/43534534758345=www.widgets.com
2) www.10.overture.com/34234234=www.widgets.com
3) www.search.yahoo.com/jobs?3483247.htm

etc...
