Are those fixed in 3.2.x ? We can just use the same fix.

So the problem is to combine requrl and location and get the encoded
redirect url.

Why not just droping new URL(...) and using some custom code ?

>               url = new URL(new URL(requrl), location);
>               return "https" + url.toString().substring(4);
>           } 
            
            else if( requrl.stastWith("http://")) }
                ...
            }

This wouldn't be a hack at all, but a useful utility.

Sounds reasonable any way, but if we can drop the URL part completely
it'll be great. We are talking about a clear and simple thing here - a
http request and a redirect.
