The unusual behaviour of urljoin

os.path.join behaves in a pretty robust ways.

(examples)

urlparse.urljoin seems not to do so.

>>> urlparse.urljoin("http://localhost/module/", "cnx1234")
'http://localhost/module/cnx1234'

I expect the above behaviour.:

>>> urlparse.urljoin("http://localhost:8000/module", "cnx1234")
'http://localhost:8000/cnx1234'

Woooo. What happened to module?:

>>> urlparse.urljoin("http://localhost.com/module/", "cnx1234")
'http://localhost.com/module/cnx1234'

one last gotcha:

>>> urlparse.urljoin("http://localhost.com/module/", "/cnx1234")
'http://localhost.com/cnx1234'

So for RESTful navigation we want something else...
