redirectErrors configuration attribute does not handle relative URLs

                 Key: SSPCPP-417
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SSPCPP-417
             Project: Shibboleth SP - C++
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Configuration, Error Handling
    Affects Versions: 2.4.3
         Environment: CentOS 5.7, Shibboleth RPMs 2.4.3-2.2, Apache 2.2.3-53
            Reporter: Terrence G Fleury

Using documentation found at https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPErrors , I attempted to use the "redirectErrors" attribute with a relative URL. When using an absolute URL such as 'redirectErrors="https://example.org/script.php"', errors were redirected to the 'script.php' handler as expected. When using a relative URL such as 'redirectErrors="script.php"', errors were instead redirected to "https://example.org/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST". I tried several variations such as "/script.php", "../script.php", "/../script.php", etc., but none of them worked. So either the documentation is incorrect (i.e. relative URLs are not allowed), or there is a bug in the code which handles relative URLs.
