Description Santiago M. Mola 2014-01-09 08:02:09 UTC 
According to W3C's web-platform-tests:
http://example.com\\foo\\bar -> http://example.com//foo//bar

This matches the behaviour of Blink.

However, the spec ignores backslash at the beggining of path, so:
http://example.com\\foo\\bar -> http://example.com/foo//bar
Comment 1 Santiago M. Mola 2014-01-09 08:04:15 UTC 
Disregard this. I implemented a "Otherwise..." when there was none in the spec. Sorry for the noise.
