Protocol Relative URL (PRURL) aka Network-Path Reference aka Scheme relative URLs

snapplez
We have html content that uses Protocol Relative URLs that Prince 10r6 does not know how to process. PRURLs are URLs that do not define the scheme/protocol.

Example PRURL:
//example.com/hello.png


The PRURL should inherit the parent scheme/protocol completing the URL.

Technical description is in RFC 3986 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2

Is there any chance that future versions of Prince will handle PRURLs?

It should be //example.com/hello.png.

@mikeday - thank you - i fixed it - you are correct!

is it obvious that i type too many UNIX escape character every day? (OR windows path names?? ::shudder::)

The fundamental challenge of technology is which type of slash and how many! :D
snapplez
@yeslogic - any chance this might happen?
mikeday
Oh, they should already work!

(Assuming that the original document base URL is a HTTP/HTTPS URL, not a local file URL).

did i miss something?

was there a change in the feb 2016 release that fixes this - or are you saying that it should have been working the whole time?
mikeday
I mean it should have been working the whole time.
