HTTP redirect not supported on Image source uri

[brunolemos]

The problem

When using an Image URI that redirects to another one, the image is not rendered.

// does not work:
<Image source={{ uri: 'https://twitter.com/brunolemos/profile_image?size=original', width: 100, height: 100 }} />;

// works fine:
<Image source={{ uri: 'https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1029249022903676928/GgKLxkT4.jpg', width: 100, height: 100 }} />;

Expected behavior

HTTP redirect should also work on web since it works on mobile

Environment (include versions). Did this work in previous versions?

• React Native for Web (version): 0.8.9
• React (version): 16.4.2
• Browser: Chrome 68
