Either we decide to start with the complex method, something like :
redirect prefix http://$hdr(host) ...
Or we decide that http/https with one header is about the only one we're
interested in for this type of operation, and we implement :
redirect prefix_http host ...
redirect prefix_https host ...
The first one will set "http://"; followed by whatever lies in the "host"
field. The second one will do the same with "https://";.
In my opinion we still need to have the header name configurable
because behind some reverse proxies (eg: apache), the "host" header
will be rewritten and we need to use "x-forwarded-host".
I don't know if anyone is willing to take that task.
