Can anyone show me which browsers fail to work with *relative URI* in a
HTML Header Location?
I assume you mean HTTP 1.1, not HTML 1.1. IMHO the question you should
be asking is why would you want to knowingly disobey the standard and
send a relative URI? It's not exactly difficult to send an absolute URI
in any circumstance I can think of.
There is no guarantee that future user agents will continue to work with
your website if you do send a relative URI, as they are usually (albeit
loosely) based around the standards, which require an absolute URI [1].

Thanks for the reply.
The situation is that I'm working with code that was written by someone
else. And relative URIs were used all over the place.
I had to decide how serious this is, that's why I had to ask a rather
stupid question.
