Redirect issues #407

There is an issue where the client will request a asset for a website but the proxy will think it as the proxy root instead of the website that is hosting the requested asset.

For example: By going to https://google.com on the proxy, the website will request the Google logo, but will instead try to request it from the proxy's root instead of Google's root.

This proxy should not be used as a generic web proxy. It only adds CORS headers to allow cross-origin reads, and makes no attempt at trying to resolve relative URLs. I suggest to look for alternatives if you need a generic web proxy.
