           Summary: WebSocket() constructor should throw SYNTAX_ERR if URL
                    has zero or one slash after 'ws:' or 'wss:'
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

WebKit implies the slashes if they're missing in WebSocket URLs.

new WebSocket('ws:example.org/');
new WebSocket('ws:/example.org/');

Apparently no slashes means no authority (user/pass+host+port), which doesn't
make sense for websocket, and websocket requires an absolute URL. So I think
the above cases should throw SYNTAX_ERR.
