Dojo config: Map with absolute path value

I’m using the map property in my dojoConfig (with no baseUrl explicitly set), like this:

map: {
  'some/module': {
    'src/foo.js': 'baz/bar.js'
  }
},

But I’d like to load bar.js by an absolute path instead, like https://some-host.com/bar.js. I tried this:

map: {
  'some/module': {
    'src/foo.js': 'https://some-host.com/bar.js'
  }
},

But that gives me http://path-to-my-site.com/https:/some-host.com/bar.js.

I haven’t been able to figure out how to load a module via its absolute path using the map config object. Any ideas?

map is supposed to map AMD dependencies, and should generally not be used for mapping file names, though it worked ok in your first case.

I think here you actually want to specify paths inside the map, though honestly I don’t know if the syntax supports what you are trying to do. See https://www.sitepen.com/blog/2013/06/20/dojo-faq-what-is-the-difference-packages-vs-paths-vs-aliases/ for a bit more detail on paths.
