The HTTP implementation in MIT/GNU Scheme is based upon RFC 2616, which specifies an absolute URI.

This could be fixed to comply with RFC7231, but in that case many other changes are likely to be needed.  So this is a large change, which I'm reclassifying as a feature request.

The bug will remain open, but don't expect this to happen any time soon.

The "Location" header is defined in MIT Scheme 11.2 as

(define-header "Location"
  (direct-parser parse-absolute-uri)
  absolute-uri?
  write-ascii-uri)

Source: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/mit-scheme.git/tree/src/runtime/http-syntax.scm?h=release-11.2#n1344

This is incorrect because RFC 7231 [1] allows the Location header to refer to a relative URI.
