In the test URL, character "\" is converted in "%5C" (in MSIE, converted in
"/"). Relative paths links are broken.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open reference url 
2. Click on a region (Abruzzo)
3. Click on a province (L'Aquila)
4. Click on a city (Avezzano)

Actual Results:  
NOT FOUND (404) 

Expected Results:  
Open page

I'm not sure this is a true bug. I not know exatcly the http rules but I've
frequently found "\" in url path.
Summary: Relative links (in submit button) rule differ from MSIE with "\" in base path → Relative links rule differ from MSIE with "\" in base path
"\" is invalid in URIs, use "/".
