I've been reading the draft HTTP/1.1 specification (draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-06) and have some comments. Section 3.2.1 General Syntax, page 16 since <segment> is *<pchar>, it can be empty, implying that "foo/////bar" is a valid <rel_path>. Is this correct? Section 3.2.3 URI comparison, page 17 What is the intended behavior of the comparison for two different host identifiers (names or addresses) which refer to the same host? From the spec, one could conclude any of the following: (1) this issue was neglected; (2) the comparison algorithm is spared the effort and expense of doing DNS accesses; (3) the comparison algorithm is prohibited from doing DNS accesses. The comparison algorithm's behavior toward synonomous host identifiers, and the reason for that behavior, should be explicitly stated.
