Summary: websucker relative-URL errors

Initial Comment:
reproduce easily with, e.g.:
python websucker.py -v http://www.aleax.it

gives a series of error messages such as:

Check http://www.aleax.it/./py2.htm
Error ('http error', 404, 'Object Not Found')
 HREF  http://www.aleax.it/./py2.htm
  from http://www.aleax.it/./Python/ (///./py2.htm)

Check http://www.aleax.it/p1.htm
Error ('http error', 404, 'Object Not Found')
 HREF  http://www.aleax.it/p1.htm
  from http://www.aleax.it/./TutWin32/index.htm (///p1.htm)

but the relevant snippets of the HTML sources are e.g:
in Python/index.html:
<A href="./py2.htm">
in TutWin32/index.html:
<a href="p1.htm">

i.e. both relative URLs, so should resolve to the URLs
of the files that ARE present, Python/py2.htm and
TutWin32/p1.htm respectively.

And indeed /usr/bin/wget has no problem fetching
the whole small site.

Pls let me know if you want me to explore the bug further
and prepare a patch in time for 2.2.2 release -- otherwise
I think this shd at least be documented as a known bug
(making websucker close to unusable, alas).


Alex
