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

```javascript
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:

```javascript
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/](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.
