[FEATURE] Template option to limit redirects only to the same protocol

[JaneX8]

Describe your feature request

I would like an option in nuclei-templates to restrict redirects to the protocol it was initialized with. I have a situation where I want to follow redirects (x times) but not when its switching to another protocol.

How can I ensure that redirects are only on the same protocol (eg http or https) and not switching protocols?

Right now I use something like:

requests:
  - method: GET
    path:
      - "http://{{Hostname}}/something"
      - "https://{{Hostname}}/something"

To ensure I test both, both can redirect but only within their own protocol.

Describe the use case of the feature

Generic, many use cases thinkable.

Describe alternatives you've considered

requests:
  - method: GET
    path:
      - "https://{{Hostname}}/something"
  - method: GET
    path:
      - "http://{{Hostname}}/something"

But still no way to limit redirects to their own protocol.

Additional context

In addition to the existing redirect controles like:

    redirects: true
    host-redirects: true
    max-redirects: 3

I propose:

    redirects: true
    host-redirects: true
    max-redirects: 3
    protocol-redirects: true # < Default true to stay backwards compatible

Then by using protocol-redirects: false this behavior could be disabled.

Thanks for your feature request @JaneX8 , we'll take a look into this! :)

I'm also wondering what the behavior of for example this would be:

      - "{{Hostname}}:443/ui"
      - "{{Hostname}}:80/ui"

Is this a way to stick on the same protocol, perhaps despite redirect and host-redirects?
