Commits aba336c2b4 (in Qt 5.2) and
aba336c2b4 (in 5.6) both tried to deal
with this problem, with different levels of success. This is the third
attempt (and hopefully the charm).
Instead of modifying the path that the user provides, go straight ahead
and declare it invalid. This is supported by RFC 3986, which declares
this expansion impossible:
relative-part = "//" authority path-abempty
/ path-absolute
/ path-noscheme
/ path-empty
path-abempty = *( "/" segment )
path-absolute = "/" [ segment-nz *( "/" segment ) ]
path-noscheme = segment-nz-nc *( "/" segment )
The "path-abempty" and "path-noscheme" cases are the two issues we
already handle. This commit adds the third one: path-absolute, which
requires that the first segment of the path be of non-zero length.
That is, it is now possible again to have http://example.com//path
constructed piece-wise, without it producing http://example.com/path.
Additionally, it catches the case of http://example.com//path parsed
from full URL then followed by setAuthority("").
