 Replying to [ticket:1928 leif]:
 > This request to the web interface returns a redirect to a newly created
 directory, as a relative URL:
 >
 > curl -v -F t=mkdir -F redirect_to_result=true http://localhost:3456/uri
 >
 > <  Location: uri/URI%3ADIR2%3Ajhjqp....

 > I think this is good. Unfortunately, this relative URL does not include
 a trailing slash, so when it is followed the response is another redirect,
 to append the slash. This second redirect is not relative.

 As well as fixing the redirect to be local, for efficiency we should
 change the mkdir to redirect to the URL ending with a slash.
