So either the docs are slightly wrong or the code is. Do you have an argument to decide it is one rather than the other? I do: > It will probably currently fail because of the escape sequence. Exactly. Since escaping, a very basic feature of URIs, is not handled at all, it is a clear indication that the paths are NOT meant to be considered URIs. The documentation was added much later, and made the same mistake you are doing now; same goes for a few private function names. > Escape sequences, if needed, can be fixed separately. That would break a lot of working applications and is therefore not a good idea. Regards, -- Nicolas George
