Hi!

I finally checked in the fix for bug 32895 [Converting \ to / in urls on 
windows only (was: RFC 2396 $2.4.3 non-compliance?)].

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32895

We no longer convert \ to / in the core urlparser. This was previously 
done on Windows/OS2 only. Now we do the same thing on all platforms. Now 
\ is just an unwise character as defined per rfc2396, / is the only 
recognized character to separate path segments in urls.

Conversion from (windows-)filepath to url and the other way is not 
affected by this.

We might see some more bugs in the future where people used \ to 
separate path segments inside *urls* and now don't get what they want on 
windows. All those bugs can go straight to tech evangelism.

Andreas
