https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20642 --- Comment #3 from Tim Mills <tim@cbcl.co.uk> --- The text " A path consists of a sequence of path segments separated by a slash ("/") character. A path is always defined for a URI, though the defined path may be empty (zero length). Use of the slash character to indicate hierarchy is only required when a URI will be used as the context for relative references. " might lead one to believe that a URI is hierarchic if it contains a slash. Microsoft's .NET System.Uri class allows resolution against "opaque" URLs. Why does F&O forbid it, since an "opaque" URI is absolute? var urn = new Uri("urn:isbn:foo"); var mailto = new Uri("mailto:you@example.org"); var foo = new Uri(urn, mailto); Console.WriteLine(foo); // prints mailto:tim@cbcl.co.uk var bar = new Uri(mailto, urn); Console.WriteLine(bar); // prints urn:isbn:foo -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.Received on Friday, 11 January 2013 11:38:27 UTC
