From RFC 2396:
>e) All occurrences of "<segment>/../", where <segment> is a complete
path segment not equal to "..", are removed from the buffer string.
Removal of these path segments is performed iteratively, removing the
leftmost matching pattern on each iteration, until no matching pattern
remains.
>f) If the buffer string ends with "<segment>/..", where <segment> is a
complete path segment not equal to "..", that
"<segment>/.." is removed.
Therefore, http://www.example.com/data/test.xml and yes. Is there some
other part of the spec that raised this question? The "last segment is
removed" part?
A base points to a document. If the name is missing, servers typically
fill it in with a default. So a URI ending in "/" or "/.." or "/../"
would be equivalent to "/default", "/../default" and "/../default",
respectively, where "default" is usually something like "index.html".
For instance, "http://xmlbuddy.com/2.0/rusty/.."; is resolved as
"http://xmlbuddy.com/2.0/index.php"; but displayed in the browser as
"http://xmlbuddy.com/2.0/";. Relative references from either form should
work the same.
