Description:
------------
The page http://php.net/header of the documentation states:

"HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to Location:  including the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients accept relative URIs."

This is incorrect.

According to the HTTP/1.1 specification (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.14), according to which, relative URIs _are_ acceptable and work the way you would (probably) expect them to:

"If the Content-Location is a relative URI, the relative URI is interpreted relative to the Request-URI."

Sincerely,
Martin Bundgaard
