That's funny, I thought it did (although inelegantly):

    def redirect (self, location, permanent=0):
        [...]
        if location.find("://") == -1:
            location = "%s://%s%s" % (self.scheme, self.get_server(), location)

Do you have a simple example of how/why this does not work?

That's a lot cleaner than our version, but I'd still like to see an
example to understand where ours is wrong.
