I hope this is an error in the spec, because the sendRedirect function is not very
usefull if you have to calculate an absolute Url everytime you're doing a redirect.
And since it works with relative Url's I see no reason why it shouldn't be allowed.

Subject: sendRedirect() restriction
As a webserver developer implementing the 2.1 API a question has arised:
Yesterday a user claimed a "bug" in our implementation, namely an
IllegalArgumentException being thrown when attempting to do a sendRedirect()
with a non-absolute URL. Our reply was that the spec clearly states that an
IllegalArgumentException should be thrown in that case. He then referred to
other servlet engines, and more importantly; the reference implementations
behavior (which allows this). Is it a bug in the reference implementation or
an error in the spec? Any answers would be appreciated.
