If I give it a filename like "C:\tmp\test\1234.odt", then it produces as
a URL "file:///C:/tmp/test/1234.odt".
That's correct:
file:// ... the protocol part
/ ... root of your filesystem
Is that right? There are 3 slashes after "file:"; I had thought it
should be "file://C:/tmp/test/1234.odt"
This would mean realtive from your actual position which might work on
win32 where you have drives but not on *NIX.

Hi Tom
This looks like a bug on the Windows version:
Input: "C:\tmp\test\1234.odt"
Output from ConvertToURL(): "file:///C:/tmp/test/1234.odt"
There are 3 fwd slashes before the drive specifier, but there should
only be 2.
Once more this is absolutely correct. Have you ever tried to fill this
url into your Windows-Filesystem-Explorer or even Firefox (which will
correct file://C:/bla.html to file:///C:/bla.html) it works perfectly!
The thrid / only means that you start at the root of your computer urls
only holding file://C:/tmp/test/1234.odt (although working on win32)
means when being strict that you got seach for this tree relative from
your actual working directory! The reason for the third / is that there
are other operating systems who don't have the concept of drives (e.g.
Linux).
The above is what happens for me on WinXP using 2.0.2 or using most
recent developer snapshot (from 2006.April.03)
Not sure where to take this from here. Anybody else?
Nowhere because it's correct ;-)
