Redirecting with SPDY does not work

Description

Using SPDY together with a 301 redirect, will result in the client downloading a file, instead of getting redirected.

Here is an example on my server: ​http://spdy.superconnected.org/

The configuration of the host is as follows:

server {
        listen 80 spdy;

        server_name spdy.superconnected.org;

        return 301 http://nginx.org;
}

Enabling/disabling compression in SPDY or HTTP did not make a difference.

Tested both 1.6.2 and 1.7.7. Config parameters were identical in 1.6.2.
Checked with Firefox Nightly (36.0a 2014-11-28) and Chrome Stable (39.0.2171.71).

It works as expected using the spdycat tool which is able to use SPDY without TLS:

Web browsers don't support SPDY over plain TCP connections, you should configure SPDY over TLS:

server {
    listen 443 ssl spdy;
    server_name spdy.superconnected.org;
    return 301 http://nginx.org;
}
