The problem is: the http methods URL-encodes URLs before sending them,
the https one does not. And our redirecting code decodes the locations
given, because the http method encodes them.
This is of course horribly broken: We should not decode the location and
re-encode it in the first place. That said, we can't fix this right now,
so a simple work around for this issue is probably to just do the
quoting in the https method as well.
I hope we can get rid of the https method, and just add TLS support to
our own method - that will get rid of a lot of problems with the https
one.
