 > How does 20434.diff  look?

 Won't work for `Location: redirect.php` in subdirectories, To be clear, I
 was purely thinking of skipping `../index.php` style url's.

 The order I would expect to see the popularity of redirect types would be:
 {{{
 1. http://absolute.url/
 2. /root/relative/path.ext
 3. file-in-same-dir.ext
 4. ../file-up-a-directory.ext
 }}}

 Until recently I'm pretty sure Core used version 3 in a few spots in the
 admin, and it's reasonably common elsewhere I've seen. Number 4 is edge,
 used, but edge.
