Just FTR.

The *correct* form for local file URL is using *three* forward slashes. The
first two start "authority" part of file hierarchy; and the third coming
immediately means "empty authority part, i.e. local system", and starts
absolute path.

Ref: RFC8089, which shows correct examples for URLs both on Unix-like, as well
as Windows, paths. They indeed have three slashes. Two slashes and an absolute
path without an "authority" (usually host) is invalid, although widely accepted
as a commonly met variant.
