I had a vague recollection of something like that, but it's not true. The algorithm is - remove the final post-slash segment of the base - append the relative uri - remove dot segments - remove dot-dot segments - if there are dot-dot segments left (which must be at the beginning) it's an error All this only happens if the "relative" uri has a path not beginning with slash. -- Richard
