Entire section 6.2.2.2 |
As near as I can tell, no browser I can find supports changing scheme on a relative
URL. In other words, if I am at
http://www.example.com/foo/bar.html
and I have an HREF to
ftp:maz/boo.html
My browsers, both IE and Firefox, interpret that as "ftp://maz/boo.html", looking for
a server maz. Your example for that entire section indicates it should be looking for
"ftp://www.example.com/foo/maz/boo.html
AUTHOR: This is worth posting, but the book is technically correct. The browsers seem to have
implemented this incorrectly, as far as my reading of the spec goes.
