True, that's the most common case.  An example would be -
http://www.example.com/redir?target=http://foo.bar - where the query
parameter named 'target' has a user-controlled value which gets used
(most commonly) in an HTTP 302 redirect's 'Location' header.

---- REQUEST ----

GET /redir?target=http://foo.bar HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com

---- RESPONSE ----

HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: http://foo.bar/
