When a [redirect fetch](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-http-redirect-fetch) calls main fetch (last step), it should call it with this flag `true`. Change all instances of \"if main fetch is invoked recursively\" to something like \"if _recursive flag_ is true (i.e. if main fetch is invoked recursively)\"\r\n\r\n\r\n@danlrobertson is working on this"}}
