How do I safely join relative url segments?

Question

I\'m trying to find a robust method of joining partial url path segments together. Is there a quick way to do this?

I tried the following:

puts URI::

You can use this:

URI.join('http://exemple.com', '/a/', 'b/', 'c/', 'd')
=> #
URI.join('http://exemple.com', '/a/', 'b/', 'c/', 'd').to_s
=> "http://exemple.com/a/b/c/d"
