Description

The method is checking for absolute path correctly. When scheme and authority are present, the path is absolute. So the following comment needs to be removed.

  /**
   * There is some ambiguity here. An absolute path is a slash
   * relative name without a scheme or an authority.
   * So either this method was incorrectly named or its
   * implementation is incorrect. This method returns true
   * even if there is a scheme and authority.
