[2006-03-15 19:25 UTC] pear dot php dot net at chsc dot dk

Description:
------------
When HTTP::absoluteURI("?bar") is called from the script <http://example.org/foo.php>, it returns "http://example.org/?bar". According to RFC 3986, it should return "http://example.org/foo.php?bar".

RFC 3986, section 5.4 mentions an example: When the base URL is <http://a/b/c/d;p?q> and the relative URI is <?y>, the target URL is <http://a/b/c/d;p?y>.

Test script:
---------------
Put the following in a file foo.php:

<?php
require_once "HTTP.php";
$uri = "?bar";
print HTTP::absoluteURI($uri);
print " <a href='$uri'>link</a>";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
http://example.org/foo.php?bar link

Actual result:
--------------
http://example.org/?bar link

Note that Firefox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6 resolves the link correctly to <http://example.org/foo.php?bar>.

Protocol-relative URIs (e.g. <//php.net>) aren't supported either.

Section 5.2 in RFC 3986 describes an algorithm for resolving relative URIs. I think it is fairly simple to implement this using PHP's parse_uri().
