Hi,
Lynx does not convert relative URI references starting with a colon,
correctly. If I have a relative URI reference, in HTML, like `<a
href=":foo">foo</a>`, then Lynx will handle it as the absolute URI
`:foo` (which is not even a correct absolute URI, as the scheme part
cannot be empty (and Lynx does tell me, if I try to activate it: "Badly
formed address :foo")).
As per RFC 1808 ยง2.4.2 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1808.html), Lynx
should handle this URI reference as a relative URI path (i.e., if the
base URI was "http://example.com/news/latest", then the final absolute
URI would be "http://example.com/news/:foo"), because the colon is not
located "after the first character" (it *is* the first character).
Thanks to anyone who will take the time to correct this behaviour.
Bye.
