Web interface crashes when requesting parent directory of windiows drive

Hello,

It is possible to make VLC crash using the HTTP interface under windows.

URLs like below are working fine fine: http://192.168.1.10:8080/requests/browse.xml?dir=c:/

However, requesting the parent of a windows drive makes VLC crash: http://192.168.1.10:8080/requests/browse.xml?dir=c:/../

This is annoying because the remote program I use generates such requests.

Kind regards, Kevin
