Base path and Redirection with uri!

[xemwebe]

The following simple server does not behave as I would expect:

#[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
use rocket::response::Redirect;

#[get("/hello")]
async fn hello() -> String {
    "Hello, world!".to_string()
}

#[get("/redirect")]
async fn redirect() -> Redirect {
    Redirect::to(uri!(hello))
}

#[launch]
async fn rocket() -> _ {
    let base_path = "/base";
    let rocket_config = rocket::Config::default();
    rocket::custom(rocket_config)
        .mount(base_path, routes![
            hello,
            redirect,
        ])
}

If the server is started, paths /base/hello and /base/redirect are available. However, what I didn't expect is that /base/redirect redirects to /hello instead of to /base/hello, which makes the macro uri! useless except if base_path is empty.

My question is: Is this expected, or is this a bug? Or did I do something wrong?

What would be the most efficient way to put all paths of the web app behind some base path but still use the convenience macro uri!?

This is one way to handle this: https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket/blob/master/examples/cookies/src/session.rs#L32
