At the very least, we need to be able to combine:

http://site.com/contents/text/index.html + ../media/file.mp4

into

http://site.com/contents/text/../media/file.mp4

and

http://site.com/contents/text/index.html + //media.site.com/file.mp4

into

http://media.site.com/file.mp4

because that is what we need to contact the relevant server and generate
the request. Eliminating double-dots components is just an easy bonus.
