Can you elaborate a bit more why this requires more changes? My
understanding is, to check for different cases and handle them differently:

1. "-" gets replaced with "fd:", and it's passed directly to
"input_filename" without resolving.
2. if the path contains "://", that too gets passed on without resolving it
further (handles http://, https://, ftp:// etc..)
3. Only after these two checks, resolve the "filename" and pass on to
"input_filename".
