Description:
------------
On Windows, dirname() (used by HTTP::absoluteURI) will turn "/index.php" to "\". absoluteURI will in turn take that "\", see that there is no "/" at the end of $path and add one. Right before the method ends, you have a $path of "\/". The strtr call will convert that to "//". The double-slashes will confuse forms, firefox, etc. I believe getting "//" when just a "/" is expected and seen on other platform is a bug.

dirname() very nearly serves its purpose in this method, but eventually fails because we're not looking at paths, we're looking at URLs.

Reproduce code:
---------------
// On Windows
HTTP::absoluteURI('/index.php');

Expected result:
----------------
http://server/index.php

Actual result:
--------------
http://server//index.php
