URI-encode forwarded location header in proxy
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Right now there are situations in which ElasticSearch puts characters in
the character code range between 128 and 255 into the `Location` header.
This leads to an exception when trying to pass on that header through
the hapi proxy in versions before 15.0.0, because it validates that only
US-ASCII characters are used in headers.

To work around that situation, the `Location` header is encoded using
`encodeURI()` for now.

Closes elastic#8705
