ODataLib Client fails to deserialize payload with @odata.context relative URL.

[VirusQuartirus]

When JSON Lite payload contains @odata.context annotation with relative URL instead of absolute URL OData .NET client fails to deserialize response.

Assemblies affected

OData .Net lib 7.5.0.

Reproduce steps

Read response with relative URL in @odata.context annotation. (Use Fiddler Autoresponder?).

Expected result

Client should deserialize response as usual.

Actual result

Client fails with following error:
Microsoft.OData.ODataException: 'The top level context URL '$metadata#FooBar' should be an absolute Uri.'.

Additional detail

According to OData V4 spec:
The context annotation returns the context URL (see [OData-Protocol]) for the payload. This URL can be absolute or relative.
This output comes from Java Olingo implementation and we are blocked by this issue right now.

SAP Netweaver Gateway OData v4 APIs also use relative Uri in their responses.

Is there any simple workaround suggested?
