In Python 2.7a3+, trunk:78165 the code is as follows: (note that there is a segment of code to fix malformed URLs)

"""
        if 'location' in headers:
            newurl = headers.getheaders('location')[0]
        elif 'uri' in headers:
            newurl = headers.getheaders('uri')[0]
        else:
            return

        # fix a possible malformed URL
        urlparts = urlparse.urlparse(newurl)
        if not urlparts.path:
            urlparts = list(urlparts)
            urlparts[2] = "/"
        newurl = urlparse.urlunparse(urlparts)

        newurl = urlparse.urljoin(req.get_full_url(), newurl)
