I'd also like this problem fixed:
>> x: [test/foo:bar/dot]
== [test/foo:bar/dot]
>> type? x/1/2
== url!
>> probe x/1/2
foo:bar/dot
== foo:bar/dot
Note that the second part of the path! value is interpreted by Rebol as a
URL!.
>> x: [test/http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot]
== [test/http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot]
>> type? x/1/2
== url!
>> probe x/1/2
http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot
== http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot
Putting a URL! value inside a path! value seems illogical to me. After all,
I can't access this with path! notation:
>> test: [http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html [dot 123]]
== [http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html [dot 123]]
>> test/http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot
** Script Error: Invalid path value:
http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot
** Near: test/http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-16.html/dot
