Regression - #18: allow alternate mode to use http:/ #126
Description
I am trying to use alternate mode to do a network install of an old Red Hat Linux. The initial download that the installer performs does succeed (after I changed to UseMsHttpApi=yes), but on the second download further on in the process, the installer tries to "correct" the // in the path to / and then WebOne fails to parse it as being alternate mode.

Supposedly, the ability to use single / instead of // was addressed in #18 but there seems to have been a regression since then. Could this functionality be restored?
