Erm...
I think that requirement was dropped some time ago.

HTTP was dropped? Damn. ;)

Hope not, then I am out of work!
And since I am really useless without internet...

Hmm yes. That sounds convincing.
Never trusts rfcs not recommended by me. ;-)

Here is one for you:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt

It clearly describes relative referencing. (Part 4 and 5 mainly)

But judge for yourself.


And all browsers I have ever seen support the relative URL.

But you haven't seen all. And browsers are not the only user agents. A
bug doesn't become less of a bug, just because it works in the majority.

Well, that may be true.
I only aim my php for internetbrowsers, so I don't know jack about other
agents.
Thanks for the warning though.
