7494	build_absolute_url method of the HttpRequest class fails with urls with : in their path	tom@…	RobotAdam	"When build_absolute_url is called for a location that should contain a "":"" character in it's path it fails to add the ""http://www.example.com"" part.

This is because off line 76 of django/http/__init__.py where ""if not ':' in location:"" is used to check if the location is already absolute.

According to http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html it is perfectly valid to have a "":"" in the path part of a HTTP url."		closed	HTTP handling	dev		fixed	aug22sprint		Accepted	1	0	0	1	0	0
