'base' does not work with absolute URL

[njam]

Version

3.1.3

Reproduction link

https://repl.it/@njam/vue-router-base

Steps to reproduce

1. Set 'base' to an absolute URL
2. Resolve any link

What is expected?

Final URL is based on absolute base URL:
"http://example.com/foo"

What is actually happening?

Final URL is using base URL as relative path:
"/http:/example.com/"

I couldn't find a ticket for this, only a closed PR: #1353

This is expected, the router expects only the URI part, without the domain. It does strip it when provided through the base element but not otherwise since the domain is out of router's reach so it would be confusing the specify a full url in the js, people may end up specifying different domains depending on the build when at the end, the URI is enough

Ok thanks for clarifying!
