URL join of two URIs

I am trying to join these two URIs

from urllib.parse import urljoin    
# baskslash is not a mistake
r = urljoin(r"https:/\\corrlinks.blob.core.windows.net", r"videofaq")  
print(r)

I am getting 

https:///videofaq

How can I get 

https:/\\corrlinks.blob.core.windows.net/videofaq

This one would be Ok too:

https://corrlinks.blob.core.windows.net/videofaq

Note. Browsers handle the link above just fine.

I have ended up with 

url = url.replace("\\" , "/").replace("///", "//")

Function interpret slash as baseurl, so you're need to add another one at the end to teach it:

urljoin(r"https:/\\corrlinks.blob.core.windows.net/", "videofaq")

python treats backslash(\) as an escape character.

using r'string' goes handy many times.
r just means raw string. This is useful when we want to have a string that contains backslash and don’t want it to be treated as an escape character. In this case

from urllib.parse import urljoin
r = urljoin(r"https://corrlinks.blob.core.windows.net", "videofaq")  
print(r)
# returns https://corrlinks.blob.core.windows.net/videofaq

This should do the work.
