Right. But I am working more with URL paths nowadays. In there if I want to join two paths, no matter if 2nd starts with slash or not, I don't really expect the 2nd to rewrite the first.
Joining url paths is different from joining file system paths. I wouldn't suggest using a function designed for one to do the other. urljoin('https://s/a/b/', 'x') => 'https://s/a/b/x') urljoin('https://s/a/b/', '/x/y') => 'https://s/x/y') urljoin('https://s/a/b/', '//t/x/y') => 'https://t/x/y') urljoin('https://s/a/b/', '//t') => 'https://t/a/b') urljoin('https://s/a/b/', 'http:') => 'http://s/a/b') urljoin('http:', '//s', 'x/y') => 'http://s/x/y') Note that I'm ignoring the issue of whether or not the last part of the url on the left should be stripped off. --- Bruce I'm hiring: http://www.cadencemd.com/info/jobs Latest blog post: Alice's Puzzle Page http://www.vroospeak.com Learn how hackers think: http://j.mp/gruyere-security
