No, the version in Stretch also uses httpredir.debian.org, which is the same as http.debian.net.

httpredir.debian.org/http.debian.net is just a redirector.
I don't fully know how it decides which mirror to redirect you to, but those are the source of your issue.
http://http.debian.net/demo.html tells you which mirror it tries to redirect you to.
I think the maintainer of http.debian.net will love to know which mirrors are defective.

Then debootstrap uses ftp.debian.org. Yeah.
http.debian.net has worked quite fine as a default, and I think just using ftp.d.o will not be good for many users.
