If it’s a known limitation, shouldn’t it say so in the absURL and/or range docs? I can’t find a reference to this limitation anywhere.
I have actually spent quite a lot of time researching this, and found some related posts but nothing specific about this. Have I missed something obvious?
This might seem like a minor issue, but with the increasing use of IPFS to serve websites (as it is my case) the reliable use of relative URLs is bound to become more important.
I’d be happy to do a PR update the docs, but unfortunately I don’t consider myself authoritative enough as I don’t really know what the actual reason for the limitation is.
