[tftp] Mangle initial slash on TFTP URIs
TFTP URIs are intrinsically problematic, since: - TFTP servers may use either normal slashes or backslashes as a directory separator, - TFTP servers allow filenames to be specified using relative paths (with no initial directory separator), - TFTP filenames present in a DHCP filename field may use special characters such as "?" or "#" that prevent parsing as a generic URI. As of commit 7667536 ("[uri] Refactor URI parsing and formatting"), we have directly constructed TFTP URIs from DHCP next-server and filename pairs, avoiding the generic URI parser. This eliminated the problems related to special characters, but indirectly made it impossible to parse a "tftp://..." URI string into a TFTP URI with a non-absolute path. Re-introduce the convention of requiring an extra slash in a "tftp://..." URI string in order to specify a TFTP URI with an initial slash in the filename. For example: tftp://192.168.0.1/boot/pxelinux.0 => RRQ "boot/pxelinux.0" tftp://192.168.0.1//boot/pxelinux.0 => RRQ "/boot/pxelinux.0" This is ugly, but there seems to be no other sensible way to provide the ability to specify all possible TFTP filenames. A side-effect of this change is that format_uri() will no longer add a spurious initial "/" when formatting a relative URI string. This improves the console output when fetching an image specified via a relative URI. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
