redirect and redirect'

[john....@gmail.com]

From https://hackage.haskell.org/package/wai-util-0.8/docs/Network-Wai-Util.html :

> redirect :: Status -> ResponseHeaders -> URI -> Maybe Response Source

> Smart constructor to build a redirect

> Checks if the Status is a redirection and the URI is absolute

> 

> redirect' :: Monad m => Status -> ResponseHeaders -> URI -> m Response Source

> Smart constructor to build a redirect

> Asserts redirect conditions with an irrefutable pattern match, only use on hard-coded values.

What does "check" mean here? What happens if it fails the check? Why must the URI be absolute? Why is there second function ( redirect' ) ?

I'm not sure if the author of that package reads this list. If you don't get a response, it may be worth following up directly (either via a Github issue or similar).
