[squeak-dev] Installer and http

This fails:

	(Installer squeak project: 'FFI')
		install: 'FFI-Pool'

Installer makes an MCHttpRepository with 'source.squeak.org' as location. Which should be fine since it *knows* it is an HTTP repository, after all.

The problem is in HTTPSocket's httpGetDocument:args:accept:request: method which uses "Url absoluteFromText: url" and creates a file (!) URL. Which obviously causes problems later.

The question is, how can we normalize this to a http url instead? What kind of strings are passed in here that even require normalization?
