[plt-dev] web-server redirect behavior and possible patch

I just noticed that if empty string "" is passed into `(redirect-to)`, the
response will not include a Location header (even though the header object
exists in the response object generated by `(redirect-to)`.

While passing in empty string is a client bug, perhaps it's better to simply
stop the input in the first place?

If so - below is a plausible patch for web-server/http/redirect.ss

Thanks,
yc
