It doesn't seem viable without support for relative URLs.

Relative URLs are currently used for the redirect logic and parsed from the Location header so we will have to wait for https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/28482 to land but it requires Node 12.x — which is likely a leap too far.

It's possible to do new URL('...', 'http://example.com') to parse a relative URL.
