bug#26231: 25.1; eww-open-file of downloaded html page fails redirect

[Andrea <agiugliano91@gmail.com>]

Hello,

thanks a lot for maintaining this fantastic editor: it was my start in
the lisp world and I am really grateful!

I am having fun extending org-feed to download the whole contents of
feeds. To do this I am automatically downloading the relating html page
and opening it with eww-open-file.

It is a couple of times that I get an error with some particular html
pages: they contain an element <noscript> which forces the refresh of
the page.

Strangely, opening this sort of pages with eww-open-file fails the
redirection. For example with the attached html page (saved in the /tmp
directory of a Linux system) I get:

url-file: File does not exist: file:///tmp/’http://blog.getpostman.com/2017/03/14/going-native/?utm_source=All+contacts&ModPagespeed=noscript’

I can fix this by removing the <noscript> element of the html with
"sed", but I thought that you may want to be aware of this strange
behaviour: why does eww try to lookup the redirection reference locally
if it is an http address?

Thanks again for the great Emacs!

All the best,

Andrea
