Re: context root with relative path

[Dimitar Valov <di...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Have you decided if the proposed fix make since? If the corner case is
<DRIVE>:/, then it can be handled as well, not to remove the slash in case
the previous char is :.

Best Regards,
Dimitar

IMO, the correct result for this case would most likely be to INCLUDE 
the trailing "/" if the previous character is a ":".  Generally you are 
going to want to end up with "the root of <DRIVE>", not "the default 
directory on <DRIVE>".
