It looks like this would always break when, e.g., parsing a "file:" URL in a page accessed via an "http:" URL, and I don't know what is supposed to happen if a base URL isn't provided. 85786 1 annevk 2013-04-09 13:27:55 +0000 Well if a base URL is not provided the scheme cannot be "file". But yes, it seems we should special case "file" in the /relative state/. 85787 2 annevk 2013-04-09 13:37:21 +0000 https://github.com/whatwg/url/commit/20ac84d65bfd913121aec8c257bf3c9cd6256b50
