address open redirect with 3 forward slashes

Ie36401c782f023d1d5f2623732619105dc2cfa24 was intended
to address OSSA-2021-002 (CVE-2021-3654) however after its
release it was discovered that the fix only worked
for urls with 2 leading slashes or more then 4.

This change adresses the missing edgecase for 3 leading slashes
and also maintian support for rejecting 2+.
