Bug#792025: [uscan] Doesn't strip terminal download.html, fails fetching .../download.html/download/...

[Barak A. Pearlmutter]

Thanks for the quick diagnosis. I will report this error in their page to
upstream, and no doubt they will fix it quickly.

So it seems Chrome (and presumably other popular browsers although I didn't
check) are in violation of spec and ignoring the given base href. As a
matter of robustness, perhaps uscan could, in the event that using the
given base href fails, try again with the default base href? I suppose it
depends how often this situation arises in practice.
