Bug Description

Some mirrors may redirect us and give a relative URL in the Location header, causing the mirror prober to fail as it expects it to be an absolute URL. Although this has only been a problem for a mirror (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mymirror.asiaosc.org) that was turned into a link farm website, we need to fix this at some valid mirrors could use relative URLs in the Location header as well.
