! MouseHole 1.2 is out

[Ben Schumacher]

I think it's lower level than just by convention at the HTTP layer. It
probably has more to do with filesystem behavior. I would venture a
guess that nearly all *nix operating systems treat "//" as a single
"/" and I have just confirmed on the Windows box I'm on that it
behaves the same way (and I am certain that FreeBSD does as well). I
think the idea is to be forgiving of users.

That being said, I think it would be nice to pass it through for the
benifit of things like ProxyLike. Maybe we can add the ability to get
the non-normalized URL...?

Just a thought.

bs.
