IIRC, on POSIX systems, // is treated as /, but // in the beginning of
the path has special meanings, such as samba share which uses \\ on
Windows. So, if the first two characters are //, I think they should
be kept. If // is found in path, it should be treated as /.
Any comments?
Besides, do we need to introduce more standard URI parsing by using
some RFC comforming lib which is small enough?
