Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 12:30:38 -0000 Hi, I've been working through the relative URI resolution mechanism in RFC 2396, and I've spotted something which seems a little odd. The example resolution on p.29 for, ?y from, http://a/b/c/d;p?q is given as, http://a/b/c/?y but as far as I can make out, the resolution algorithm suggests the result ought to be, http://a/b/c/d;p?y which is the result that was given in RFC 1808. It's also the result that both Netscape 4 and IE 4 deliver. Given that this would be an observable change in behaviour between the two RFCs, I'm a little surprised that it wasn't flagged up as such if the change really was intended ... Strangely enough, Sun's badly broken java.net.URL class _does_ give the result specified in 2396, which makes me suspect that something must be wrong ;-) Cheers, Miles -- Miles Sabin Cromwell Media Internet Systems Architect 5/6 Glenthorne Mews +44 (0)181 410 2230 London, W6 0LJ msabin@cromwellmedia.co.uk England ------- End of Forwarded Message
