Description:
------------
The original report was a vulnerability in redirects to FTP servers, since they don't perform URL escaping, but the fix effects HTTP and HTTPS as well.

This broke one valid redirection for us that we know about.

My fix was to wrap the calls to CHECK_FOR_CNTRL_CHARS in a conditional:
