url-http.el: redirection to partial URL with a proxy

[Klaus Straubinger]

The redirection of a URL retrieval request to a partial (not fully
qualified) URL does not work if the retrieval is attempted with a
proxy connection. The function url-http-parse-headers in url-http.el
constructs a fully qualified URL by using the variable
url-current-object. But this variable contains the proxy URL if a proxy
is used. This leads to a wrong redirection URL.

The following patch solves this problem. It works because
url-http-cookies-sources contains always the original URL as set in the
function url-http. Maybe the variable could be renamed because it is
useful not just for cookie handling.
