Description

### Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

- [X] I have read the [Contributing Guidelines on issues](https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#issues).

### Prerequisites

- [X] I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
- [ ] I have tried the `npm run clear` or `yarn clear` command.
- [ ] I have tried `rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json` and re-installing packages.
- [ ] I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
- [ ] I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

### Description

I am using the plugin-client-redirects to redirect URLs, but it appears that redirects do not work for URLs containing periods (dots). Is this intended behavior, or is there a workaround to make such redirects work properly? (use createRedirects instead?)

```
redirects: [
{
from: [
"/test", // This works
"/te.st", // Does not work
],
to: "/another",
},
],
```

### Reproducible demo

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

1. yarn add @docusaurus/plugin-client-redirects
2. adds code to `docusaurus.config.js`

### Expected behavior

When I enter 'mysite.com/te.st,' it should redirect me to 'mysite.com/another,' but it doesn't work.

### Actual behavior

the expected redirection is not occurring as intended

### Your environment

- Public site URL:
- Docusaurus version used:
- Environment name and version (e.g. Chrome 89, Node.js 16.4):

### Self-service

- [ ] I'd be willing to fix this bug myself.
