In addition to the semantic bug, I think the assumption that the base URI doesn't contain dot-segments in its path should be dropped. If a URI has an absolute path beginning with a "//" and doesn't have an authority, then the absolute path must be written as /.//... Another example where the target URI would be invalid is if the relative URI is scheme:/.//ff or scheme:/..//ff and the parser is strict or the parser is non-strict and base URI's scheme != relative URI's scheme. One more thing. If the relative URI has a scheme then, regardless of the base URI, the target URI will equal the relative URI for a strict parser. Should the algorithm fail in this case if the base URI is illegal (doesn't have a scheme) even though the target URI has nothing to do with the base URI? (i.e., should the assumption "only the scheme component is required to be present in the base URI" be dropped in this case?) _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
