✨ IETF RFC 7231 Section 7.1.2 - handle relative location in redirect

Peter Bolingrequested to merge
486/IETF-RFC-7231-handle-relative-location-in-redirect into master

An obsolete version of the HTTP 1.1 specifications (IETF RFC 2616) required a complete absolute URI for redirection.[2] The IETF HTTP working group found that the most popular web browsers tolerate the passing of a relative URL[3] and, consequently, the updated HTTP 1.1 specifications (IETF RFC 7231) relaxed the original constraint, allowing the use of relative URLs in Location headers.[4]
