chromedriver sends relative urls in redirects causing python3 urllib to throw an exception

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download the python selenium bindings 2.21.2
2. run 2to3 on the selenium directory
3. apply the attached patch to selenium/webdriver/remote/remote_connection.py
4. Attempt to navigate to a webpage using chromedriver
5. See that the following exception occurred
"urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 303: See Other - Redirection to url 
'/session/0a5866dea13e35603602f2108eaa2562' is not allowed"

Here is an example python script that I used in python3.2:

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get("http://www.google.com")
items  = browser.find_elements_by_tag_name("img")
browser.quit()

Simplified test case or site demonstrating the problem:

This is caused due to a security update for urllib from this bug:
http://bugs.python.org/issue11662

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ChromeDriver = 19.0.1068.0
Chrome = 18.0.1025.151
OS = Linux 3.0.0 x64

Would it be possible to send full urls instead of relative paths?

Thanks for the report. I guess we need to switch to an absolute url. Just 
curious, does IE or FF have this problem too?

Firefox does not have this issue. I have not tried it with IE, but I'll
check it out and see what happens.

This is not a problem with IE.
