If a server returns a relative URL in the 'Location:' header, HTTPRedirectHandler will fail because it checks the scheme of the URL before it calls urljoin() to convert it to an absolute URL.

See issue12275. Seems like a common request.

Looks like this was a 3.2 regression, but was fixed in Issue 13696.
