Otoh, this should fix the file:// URL format we currently mishandle, so is probably worth doing.I don't know how that could have ever worked... (or does it?)Not really, see the other branch of this thread.
So, I taking another look at this: I am a bit confused about the behaviour I'm seeing, though.I'm expecting "file:///c:/path" and "file://host/path" to work, but they don't seem to.
However, "file://c:/path" now works, which is good, and "file:////host/path" continues to work
The documentation for InternetOpenUrl() says "Only URLs beginning with ftp:, http:, or https: are supported" so I'm wondering if this is really something we should be expecting to work...
Also, is there a reason for the hunk in nio-file.cc removing the reporting of a problem opening the file?
