Uri.get_path("file://...") - relative paths

[oodgaard]

This regex seems to not allow relative paths : https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed/blob/master/source/corvusoft/restbed/uri.cpp#L207
(https://github.com/Corvusoft/restbed/blob/3.0/source/corvusoft/restbed/uri.cpp#L200)

e.g.:

auto uri = Uri("file://certs/server.key");
cout << uri.get_path() << endl;

prints: /server.key

I guess this is only relevant for file:// though since http://blah.com/blah would be fine.

Thanks for that @oodgaard, will look to resolve this immediately.

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-4.2 for details of relative path URIs.

Relative Path Proposal

bool relative = true;
Uri uri("file://certs/server.key", relative );
