Re[2]: URL paths in setup.exe


>> file://d|/foo/bar.txt is on win32.

Ok I understand this. The "d|" or "d:" is useful so we can understand that
the path is not on some remote machine.

EB> file:///d/foo/bar.txt on Cygwin should work as well depending on the
EB> cygdrive value. ;)
EB> file:///d:/foo/bar.txt should be the win32 mechanism.

Why the extra slash infront of "d" ?

EB> file://d/foo/bar.txt is definitely relative to the current working
EB> directory.

I don't understand why it is relative ?
