No I'm not confusing them, however I have learned since my post was
made that my answer does rely on the fact that many browsers relax
the standard for the HTTP Location header - so my answer is
technically incorrect for that reason.
The standard states an absolute uri is required for redirection,
but browsers relax this by allowing a relative uri and prepend
the most recently visited server to it.
