Relative uris? #93

Open ashic opened 6 years ago

ashic commented 6 years ago

For link and action hrefs, is the anything preventing the use of relative uris? Does the spec specify that all uris must be absolute?

One of the examples that @kevinswiber gave in #42 was http://fizzbuzzaas.herokuapp.com/, this uses relative URLs.

The JSON schema unfortunately uses format: uri which theoretically prevents relative URIs from being valid: https://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/json-schema-validation.html#rfc.section.7.3.5

One would have to use format: uri-reference to allow for absolute and relative ones.
