They are?
You're right; you're confused. Perhaps browsers _do_ support
relative URL redirection because so many people have foolishly
violated the HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 specifications
by using relative redirections, but the HTTP/1.1 spec clearly
says:
14.30 Location
The Location response-header field is used to redirect the recipient to
a location other than the Request-URI for completion of the request or
identification of a new resource. For 201 (Created) responses, the
Location is that of the new resource which was created by the request.
For 3xx responses, the location SHOULD indicate the server's preferred
URI for automatic redirection to the resource. The field value consists
of a single absolute URI.
Location = "Location" ":" absoluteURI
