<    Like absolute URLs, relative URL syntax is dependent upon the access
<    scheme.  Some schemes use "?" and ";" to indicate special reserved
<    components, while others just consider them to be part of the path.
<    However, there is enough uniformity in the syntax to allow a parser
<    to resolve relative URLs based upon a few syntactic categories.
