sorry for the delay; I finally dug into this a bit, and you are exactly
right.  The old HTTPRequest.redirect() method was pretty dumb, and your
version is much better, since it handles all three flavours of URLs
(absolute, hostless-absolute, and relative).

I'm going to check your version in now.  Thanks!
