bug#17217: 24.4.50; eww/shr and relative links

[joaotavora@gmail.com (João Távora)]

Hi maintainers, Lars,

    emacs -Q
    M-x eww RET\
        http://franz.com/support/documentation/current/doc/classes/excl/compiler-inconsistent-name-usage-warning.htm\
        RET

Click on any link in the webpage, *eww* always reports 404, because it
couldn't follow a relative link with href="../../release-notes.htm". A
browser like chromium handles these nicely, so pressing

    C-u RETq

on a link to open it in an external browser works, would navigate to

    http://franz.com/support/documentation/current/doc/release-notes.htm

And not

    http://franz.com/support/documentation/current/doc/classes/excl/../../release-notes.htm

No idea if ../../ is standards compliant, but it would be nice to
understand it.

Thanks,
João
