url-auth error when URL has no path

url-auth error when URL has no path

[Diane Murray]

An error occurs when trying to retrieve an http URL with a host but no
path (no trailing slash) after a successful authentication was made on
the host, including a path, earlier in the session.  The following
patch deals with this.

	* url-auth.el (url-basic-auth): Set path to "/" when URL has an
	empty string filename.
