File Uri Scheme and Relative Files

by

In short, a file URL takes the form of:

file://localhost/absolute/path/to/file [ok]

or you can omit the host (but not the slash):

file:///absolute/path/to/file [ok]

but not this:

file://file_at_current_dir [no way]

nor this:

file://./file_at_current_dir [no way]

I just confirmed that via Python’s urllib2.urlopen()

More detail from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme:

"file:///foo.txt" is okay, while "file://foo.txt" is not,
although some interpreters manage to handle the latter
