Any link in the form of //something has the current protocol prepended to it. If you
are on a HTTP site such as http://microsoft.com and click on a link to
//msdn.microsoft.com you are in reality making a request for http://msdn.microsoft.com
/. used to use these links all over the place, to save some bytes I guess.
The results by clicking on your link to //test/test depends on the security zone you
are in. If you are in the Internet Zone you will be asking for http://test/test , if
you are in the My Computer zone you will be asking for file://test/test which gets
translated into \\test\test.

Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Locking up Internet Explorer
The following code creates a link that causes Microsoft Internet Explorer to
lock up. Restarting IE is required after clicking on the link.
<A HREF="//test/test">Lock up Internet Explorer</A>
The form of the link just has to be //*/* as far as I tried it. The IE
version I used was 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633CO.
