Fix for open redirect - identified in Issue 2429 (#2500)

* Issue 2429 indicates the possiblity of an open redirect

The 404 processing ends up redirecting a request with multiple path
slashes to that site, i.e.

https://my-site//shedcode.co.uk will redirect to https://shedcode.co.uk

This commit uses a regular expression to remove the multiple leading
slashes before redirecting.
