Made trickier by the similar yet different behaviour of urlparse.urljoin.
>>> import urlparse
>>> urlparse.urljoin("hello", "/world")
'/world'
>>> urlparse.urljoin("hello", "slash/world")
'slash/world'
>>> urlparse.urljoin("hello", "slash//world")
'slash//world'
>>>
It does not make sense to me that these should be different.
