Here's the method I wrote, this will obviously only work on os x.
method "urlPath2Posix"($path)
if ($path[[1]] = "/") // is it in url style?
$sysfolder := join paths(execute in 4d("SYSTEM
FOLDER";*))
$bootvol :=
substring($sysfolder;1;position("/";$sysfolder;2))
if (substring($path;1;position("/";$path;2)) =
$bootvol) //this is
the boot volume
$path :=
substring($path;position("/";$path;2);length($path))
else
$path := "/Volumes" + $path
// this is a non-boot volume
end if
end if
return($path)
end method
