Comment:
The definition of "absolute url" makes https:foo not an absolute url, since
its behavior depends on whether the base is https: or not.  Is that desired? 
In particular, using this definition for websockets means that wss: urls with
no forward slashes after the ':' are treated as non-absolute, though in fact
they're treated as absolute by the browser in practice.
