Sorry for the slow response, too busy to keep up. :-(

See the URI spec for more complex examples: http://gbiv.com/protocols/uri/rfc/rfc3986.html#reference-examples Note that we enforce all the URI spec examples with a set of unit tests. Looking at how tricky those examples are, we feel very confident about the quality of Reference's output :)
Sorry, IMO that's still incorrect... If 'dir' is a directory then the behavior is as I noted. If 'dir' is actually a file *then* the behavior that you mention would be correct. This behavior is obvious (Principle of Least Surprise) if one mimics the behavior by actually trying these out in a shell and move around a filesystem. :-) Take care, John
