Does the WCF REST WebChannelFactory client support REST services that use redirects?

Question

If you have a RESTful web service that uses HTTP 301 redirects to send requests such as:

http: // server / customers /? name = John

to url

http: // server / customers / 324

(created by a service like the one in this question. )

Can these types of services be used with WebChannelFactory and ServiceContract? If so, how?
