Re: XalanC: bug in relative URI resolving or my brain?

Hi Mark,

Have you tried using a URI?

   file:///somewhere/somethingorother.foo

I'm not sure how the code reacts if parameters are not URIs.

Xalan-C 1.4 on w2k.

At some point, I'm calling
XPathExecutionContext::parseXML("/somewhere/somethingorother.foo",
"http://localhost/blah/blah/blah.foo";).  The URI is then resolved to
http://localhost/blah/blah/somewhere/somethingorother.foo.  This seems
wrong
to me - RFC2396 has  "5) If the path component begins with a slash
character
("/"), then the reference is an absolute-path and we skip to step 7." in
"5.2. Resolving Relative References to Absolute Form".  The same happens
for
other such includes (e.g. in stylesheets).

Sorry if this has come up before.  I've had a quick dig through bugzilla,
and can't find anything.  Either way, let me know and i'll fix/tell my
users
to go away as appropriate...

Thanks,

Mark
