Description

### Evidence / Screenshot (if possible)

### Relevant url?

[Relevant work](https://openlibrary.org/works/OL6666415W)

@mekarpeles: I think this is related to urls containing `..` as the title which cause the url to go up a directory?

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to the work
2. Observe the redirect to /works

* Actual: Redirect to /works
* Expected: Open work page

I believe that other work titles can cause similar behaviour
