Multiple consecutive slashes not normalized in URI's path?

Hi,

I see a different behaviour between org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI 
and java.net.URI normalization.
Jython transcript:

    >>> uri1 = 
org.apache.commons.httpclient.URI("http://www.domain.org//a//b//c//")

    >>> uri1.normalize()
    >>> uri1
    http://www.domain.org//a//b//c//
    >>> uri2 = java.net.URI("http://www.domain.org//a//b//c//")
    >>> uri2.normalize()
    http://www.domain.org/a/b/c/

What is the correct way to handle URI's path with multiple slashes? I 
need to remove it myself? The problem arises when you want to compare 
two different URIs and there is a need for some canonical representation.

Thanks,
Seb

Sebastian,

o.a.c.httpclient.URI has been removed in favor of j.n.URI in HttpClient
4.0. Go with j.n.URI.
