The way I read RFC3986 (especially sections 3.3 and 6.2) is that these are all separate and valid URLs that point to the same resource. In section 6.2.2.3 only the removal of "." and ".." in paths is mentioned although 6.2.3 does leave some room for other normalisation. -- -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong --
