Multiple consecutive slashes not normalized in URI's path?

[Sebastian R. Wain]

Hi,

I see a different behaviour between org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI 
and java.net.URI normalization.
Jython transcript:
   >>> uri1 = 
org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI("http://www.domain.org//a//b//c//";)

   >>> uri1.normalize()
   >>> uri1
   http://www.domain.org//a//b//c//
   >>> uri2 = java.net.URI("http://www.domain.org//a//b//c//";)
   >>> uri2.normalize()
   http://www.domain.org/a/b/c/

What is the correct way to handle URI's path with multiple slashes? I 
need to remove it myself? The problem arises when you want to compare 
two different URIs and there is a need for some canonical representation.

Thanks,
Seb
