I don't think that means what you think it means. Per RFC 1808, a relative
URL does not include the scheme identifier (that is inferred from the base
document). In an absolute URL, the '.' and '..' are used to resolve to an
absolute URL. But when they appear in an absolute URL, they are actual
identifiers in the hierarchy.

Try not using the scheme identifier at all.
