Worker is lowercasing URL using Response.redirect

Using this code:

async function redirect(request) {
    const uri = request.url.replace(/^https:\/\/.*?\//gi, "/");
    console.log(uri);
    let url = "https://mirrors.lifehacker101.net/flashcard-archive/" + uri;
    console.log(url);

    return Response.redirect(url);
}

async function redirect(request) {
    const uri = request.url.replace(/^https:\/\/.*?\//gi, "/");
    console.log(uri);
    let url = "https://mirrors.lifehacker101.net/flashcard-archive/" + uri;
    console.log(url);

    return Response.redirect(url);
}

it correctly logs:

/TEST.zip
https://mirrors.lifehacker101.net/flashcard-archive//TEST.zip

/TEST.zip
https://mirrors.lifehacker101.net/flashcard-archive//TEST.zip

However it is doing this instead:

This causes 404 on the target location's web server. Is there something going on that I don't know about causing this?

scratch that. it seems to be a false alarm. It only happens in the preview UI that said, it would be appreciated if the preview interface didn't differ so much in behaviour from a simple curl...

Quick edit is best effort, we recommend developing locally with Wrangler + workerd (the Workers runtime) -- this gives a much much more accurate use
