Summary: Default protocol during redirect

Initial Comment:
Probably a bug:

I am used to take advantage of the fact that http is
default
protocol. That is, am lazy and use as

% curl req-qa.company.com

rather than, more accurate(% curl http://req-
qa.company.com)

Then I bumped into the following problem during a
redirect.
If req-qa.company.com redirects me

Location: redirect.asp?URL=http://req-
qa.company.com/login.asp

During redirect, curl thinks the protocol is
"redirect.asp?URL=http" which is NOT correct
(see detailed log below)

Ofcourse, if I use
% curl http://req-qa.company.com
the redirection is still the same

Location: redirect.asp?URL=http://req-
qa.company.com/login.asp

But is interpreted corerctly as
http://req-qa.company.com/redirect.asp?URL=http://req-
qa.company.com/login.asp

% curl req-qa.company.com -L -v -i
