Do not modify config.url when using a relative baseURL (resolves #1628) (#2391)

* Adding tests to show config.url mutation

Because config.url is modified while processing the request
when the baseURL is set,
it is impossible to perform a retry with the provided config object.

Ref #1628

* Fixing url combining without modifying config.url

As config.url is not modified anymore during the request processing.
The request can safely be retried after it failed with the provided
config.

resolves #1628
