Hi Joel,
Not sure why clean path is limited to non urls. Why not put in a request for
it to be modified, to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?
In the mean time there is function to clean http paths on the Rebol Examples
page
http://www.rebol.com/examples.html
Clean HTTP-Path
"To remove /../ from within HTTP URLs.
Will remove parent directories for each /../ encountered,
but will not remove site information."
http://www.rebol.com/examples/cleanhttp.r
Cheers,
Allen K
