Saxon

Using SaxonJ HE 12.3, I found that the net.sf.saxon.Transform, when taking the -xsl option as a HTTP(S) URL, resolves relative URIs in the XSLT code relative to the loaded XSLT stylesheet so e.g.

java -cp 'C:\Program Files\Saxonica\SaxonHE12-3J\saxon-he-12.3.jar' net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -it -xsl:https://martin-honnen.github.io/xquery/relative-uri-test1.xsl

gives me an output like

</unparsed-text-test>
</results>

Now when I use a similar XQuery code, however, Saxon tries to resolve the relative URIs relative to the working directory for the unparsed-text call while saying there is no base URI for doc, it appears:

PS C:\Users\marti> java -cp 'C:\Program Files\Saxonica\SaxonHE12-3J\saxon-he-12.3.jar' net.sf.saxon.Query -t -q:https://martin-honnen.github.io/xquery/relative-uri-test1.xq

   <unparsed-text-test>Cannot read file:/C:/Users/marti/sample1.txt(C:\Users\marti\sample1.txt (Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden))</unparsed-text-test>
</results>

The documentation between calling XSLT and XQuery from the command line seems a bit different, for XSLT it seems to mention the option to load the XSLT as a URI (file or http), for XQuery it is not quite clear but it seems as if if code is loadable over HTTP(S) should then it also should have the base URI set.
