--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Vasquez <[email protected]> --- Hey PauAmma, Thanks for that. I've always learned "file://" as being a protocol. You are right in that it's not a network protocol, but it is still a protocol on that it's the way in which you will be communicating. file:// could be communicating over the network (if you have a mounted network drive - but that's more of an OS abstraction). We could also call it a URI scheme or scheme for short if more comfortable. Here are some references of people calling it protocol as well on both UNIX and Windows worlds (where in Windows it's coming directly from Microsoft): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/platform-apis/jj710207(v=vs.85) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40070699/meaning-of-after-file-protocol-url https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
