Re: [basex-talk] URLs for BaseX Documents and resolve-uri()

Hi Eliot,

This fails under BaseX:

[FORG0002] Base URI is not absolute: "dfst^dfst-sample-project^develo....

I think it also fails if the base URI starts with a slash. Try this for example:

resolve-uri('abc.xml', '/path/def.xml')

What result you would expect from this query, given that it did not raise an error?

Using string operations could be an alternative...

"replace($baseURI, '/[^*]+$', $topicResourcePart)

...but I am not sure if this fulfills all needs.

Obviously, this way of representing document URIs internally is not something that could be easily changed but it is definitely a problem in terms of the expectations of URI handling by built-in XQuery functions.

Thanks,
