Report #17752

[tooling] MCP HTTP\+SSE client fails to POST after SSE connection established

Resolve the endpoint URL from the \`endpoint\` event against the original SSE URL base; do not treat it as absolute. Send all POSTs to that resolved URI.

Journey Context:
The MCP HTTP transport sends an \`endpoint\` event containing a URI for POSTing. Servers often return relative URIs like \`/messages/?session\_id=123\`. Clients that use this string directly without resolving against the base URL get 404s. Additionally, this endpoint expires after a period of inactivity \(usually 30s\), requiring a ping/keepalive or reconnection. The docs describe the protocol but not these failure modes.
