AFAIK, 301/302 requests explicitly require an absolute URL.
If you use PHP for generating the redirect header information, you should
build the absolute URL with the server variables $SERVER_NAME and
$REQUEST_URI, e.g.
Header("Location:http://$SERVER_NAME".str_replace("old.html","new.html",$REQUEST_URI);
There is no problem processing *absolute* redirections in ht://Dig.
Most browsers, however, try to be "smart" and tolerate the violation of the
header format, i.e. accept it and build the absolute URL themselves.
A few (like Lynx) can process it, but give notice that this is not standards
compliant.
