[DOXIASITETOOLS-112] DefaultSiteTool.getRelativePath does not work between files

[jira-importer]

Lukas Theussl opened DOXIASITETOOLS-112 and commented

See test case committed in r1174674. Given

to = "http://maven.apache.org/downloads.html";
from = "http://maven.apache.org/index.html";

getRelativePath( to, from ) returns "../downloads.html" instead of "downloads.html". It seems like the 'from' parameter is always supposed to be a directory. That's confusing and not very useful, also the javadocs state that the method should 'Calculate the relative path between two URLs or between two files.'.

../downloads.html is acceptable in this case though arguably downloads.html would be better.
