URLs that don't have trailing slashes are not properly handled

           Summary: URLs that don't have trailing slashes are not properly
                    handled
           Product: Xerces2-J
           Version: 2.4.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: SAX
        AssignedTo: xerces-j-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: elharo@metalab.unc.edu


Use sax.Counter to check http://www.cafeconleche.org for well-formedness. (NOT
http://www.cafeconleche.org/ The lack of the trailing slash is significant.

Xerces will fail to properly resolve the relative URL
(DTD/xhtml-transitional.dtd) in the system identifier. Instead of looking for
http://www.cafeconleche.org/DTD/xhtml-transitional.dtd it looks for
http://www.cafeconleche.orgDTD/xhtml-transitional.dtd

This is not just a problem with sax.Counter. The real problem is somewhere
inside the parser code. I first encountered it when using Xerces to parse this
document in my own code. However, this is an easy way to reproduce the problem.
