I checked the code JetspeedDiskCache has definitely a buggy handling
of local URLs, thanks for the report.
I believe request.getRealPath() is deprecated and replaced by
ServletContext.getRealPath() in servlet2.2.
The issue though is that the cache must be able to work stand-alone
so can't access any request or Servlet specific information.

See above for my comments. As an addition I'd say that storing request
information is definitely *not* an option for a lot of reasons.
If you want to fix this issue, use the following patch which disable
the specific process of local URLs (until someone can think of
a better way to do it) :
D:\cvs\java.apache.org\jetspeed\src\java\org\apache\jetspeed\cache\disk\)
Index: JetspeedDiskCache.java

Note: I won't commit this patch to the CVS so you'll have to apply it yourself.
I'll put the bug in the TODO list.
