> Right now, the API TSRedirectUrlSet() makes a strdup() of the incoming string. In many cases, this is very undesirable, and does not fit well in how other similar APIs works. Instead, I think TSRedirectUrlSet() should take ownership of the (heap) allocated incoming string.
> This does not change the API itself, but eliminates the malloc / strcpy in the API. A caller of this API is expected to provide a string that is allocated. For example, a string returned from TSUrlStringGet() is the perfect use case where the new API contract works much better.
