Parsing of URL's which contain Windows Path separator

[Shirish Kuncolienkar]

Any thoughts on the following

It will be good if the one could create relative url from other url 
which is based on windows style path.
example "hello.html" relative "http://someserver/foo/bar" becomes 
"http://someserver/foo/hello.html"

In the similar way "hello.html"relative to "file:///C:\foo\bar" can be 
resolved to "file:///C:/foo/hello.html"
currently the URL parser resolves it to "file:////hello.html" (this 
behavior is correct going by the api spec, since windows file separator 
character is considered as a special character)
