#### How relative imports work

!!! tip
    If you know perfectly how imports work, continue to the next section below.

A single dot `.`, like in:

```Python
from .dependencies import get_token_header
```

would mean:

    // Mixed case.
    checkPublicSuffix("COM", null)
    checkPublicSuffix("example.COM", "example.com")
    checkPublicSuffix("WwW.example.COM", "example.com")
    // Leading dot.
    checkPublicSuffix(".com", null)
    checkPublicSuffix(".example", null)
    checkPublicSuffix(".example.com", null)
    checkPublicSuffix(".example.example", null)
    // Unlisted TLD.

  fun secure(): Boolean = secure

  /**
   * @param forObsoleteRfc2965 true to include a leading `.` on the domain pattern. This is
   *     necessary for `example.com` to match `www.example.com` under RFC 2965. This extra dot is
   *     ignored by more recent specifications.
   */
  internal fun toString(forObsoleteRfc2965: Boolean): String {
    return buildString {
      append(name)
      append('=')
      append(value)
