Windows drive letters are not handled correctly when resolving relative URLs.

• Component: Platform
• Status: NEW ---

[Brett Wilson (Google)]

The relative URL "/foo" when resolved on the base URL "file:///C:/bar" should give "file:///C:/foo" rather than "file:/foo". Note however that "/c:/foo" in this situation should still resolve to "file:///C:/foo".

The relative URL "../../../" when resolved against "file:///C:/foo" should give "file:///C:/" rather than "file:/".

Links on web pages of the form "c:\foo", "c:/foo", or "c|\foo" should be treated as absolute URLs to "file://C:/foo". This comes up when viewing local pages that have hardcoded paths.

@Fuji - do we have such issue anymore since `win-cairo` is only Windows port as of right now.

I am inclined toward to mark this as 'RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED' or 'WONTFIX' since if we have this issue since 2008, we would have newer bug reports as well.
