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.
