It appears that "12. If result uses a scheme with a server-based naming authority, replace all U+005C REVERSE SOLIDUS (\) characters in result with U+002F SOLIDUS (/) characters." will never be reached as \ is invalid in URIs, and step 10 is: "10. Apply any relevant conformance criteria of RFC 3986 and RFC 3987, returning an error and aborting these steps if appropriate. [RFC3986] [RFC3987]". (To be clear: I'm just pointing out a potential bug in the algorithm; personally I'd prefer not to try rewriting \ in general). 59975 1 ian 2011-11-11 22:17:59 +0000 Yes, there's all kinds of errors in this algorithm. The idea is to have the algorithm replaced by a reference to a specification that defines how to parse URLs. 60260 2 julian.reschke 2011-11-20 21:06:39 +0000 See also bug 12543. 63130 3 ian 2012-01-25 23:45:02 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 12543 ***
