Avoid non-trivial relative URL references.

  A trivial URL reference is one not containing a "/". They are harmless.

  A relative URL reference containing a "/" is non-trivial unless
  the path segment before each "/" is either "." or "..".
  Non-trivial URL references can cause growing URLs. Do not use them.
