I agree. In similar code elsewhere I have not chosen to support the use
of a forward slash; only the backslash.

However, this is what curl already did before I looked at it. Removing
it now would have the potential to break existing users.

Well, not that this code was working before I sent those two patches, so
if you *really* want to make your case for removing the forward slash, I
suppose that's fair enough. But you need to make it to someone other
than me :)
