Following up on issue 033, the following equation is an important test of consistent implementations: resolve_relative_URI(compute_relative_URI(u, base), base) = u To satisfy this for all examples in section 5.4 of rfc2396bis-02, a change in the algorithm of section 5.2 is required. The change is needed to ensure that the ./ and ../ processing is applied even when a relative URI is a path starting with "/". In my implementation: if R_path[0] == "/": T_path = merge('', R_path[1:]) A parser and URI processing algorithms that pass all the tests are available for examination and comment at the following URL. http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~cameron/uri/URIbis2.py The parser is based on abnf2re and the algorithms include compute_relative_URI as described yesterday, with one bug fix to handle the authorityless relative URI. The test program is available as well. http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~cameron/uri/bis2tests.pyReceived on Sunday, 25 May 2003 10:13:15 GMT
