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.
