Yes, ZnUrl is HTTP(S) specific and does not include a number of aspect that are 
in URL like uername and password.

File URLs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme) are more complicated 
because of platform differences, the way things seem to be on Windows is a bit 
scary, for me at least.

Cleaning up and/or unifying the URL/URI mess would be a nice project.
