How does HTML5 AppCache handle redirects?

If I include in the application cache manifest:

/example.html

and it redirects to

https://s3.amazonaws.com/longURL/example.html?dynamicauthenticationparameters

will it work?

Currently, the draft HTML5 specification does not seem to talk about redirection for content files (as opposed to the manifest itself), except for a link to the redirect flag manually, which seems to be set, but (as far as I can tell) has never been used.

(The goal is to avoid proxying some S3 content, but still make it available offline using the caching mechanism. JavaScript and LocalStorage will presumably be a workaround if the above cannot be done.)

Any pointers to the relevant part of the specification specification and / or current browser are useful.
