Why can't I view 301 redirects in chrome developer tools?

Question

If I curl "google.com", I know it issues a 301 redirect to http://www.google.com/. However, I cannot see this anywhere in the networking tab on chrome. I have tried all of the following:

• Checking preserve log in the network tab
• Checking disable cache in the network tab
• Empty cache and hard reloading
• Going to chrome://net-internals/ and clearing the cache
• Clearing all cached images and files since the beginning of time in chrome
• Specifically monitoring "Other" in the network tab

Can anyone please explain why? I am very interested.

Just posting in case anyone else has this issue. Without knowing the details here are two possibilities.

1. You are clicking a link that opens a new window/tab, in which case your developer tools window is now looking at the wrong thing. Copy/paste the link into the window your dev tools is pointing to.
2. You are filtering and not including "Other", which is where 300 level messages now appear.
