I believe this summary is correct: In 2396 resolution, dot-segments in the relative path are special, dot-segments in the base URI are not. In 3986 resolution, dot-segments in both the relative path and the base URI are special. In neither RFC are dot-segments in absolute URIs special, though HTTP servers may treat them specially. -- A few times, I did some exuberant stomping about, John Cowan like a hippo auditioning for Riverdance, though cowan@ccil.org I stopped when I thought I heard something at http://ccil.org/~cowan the far side of the room falling over in rhythm with my feet. -- Joseph Zitt
