Subject: [PATCH] [MINOR] redirect: in prefix mode a "/" means not to change
 the URI

If the prefix is set to "/", it means the user does not want to alter
the original URI, so we don't want to insert a new slash before the
original URI.

(cherry-picked from commit 02a35c74942c1bce762e996698add1270e6a5030)
