 *
 *  web: Fix an open redirect in StaticFileHandler
 *
 *  Under some configurations the default_filename redirect could be exploited
 *  to redirect to an attacker-controlled site. This change refuses to redirect
 *  to URLs that could be misinterpreted.
 *
 *  A test case for the specific vulnerable configuration will follow after the
 *   patch has been available.
