This was a deliberate decision when the feature was originally proposed. The original spec was that the hostname would be completely ignored. It will be possible to change the spec in the future to be more lenient but starting with it lenient and then tightening up could potentially break existing code. Anyone implementing an environment hosting SQLite (eg a web browser) would need to be concerned about the URIs and host names. Currently they can rest assured that you can't trick SQLite. This may be overly cautious but as pointed out above it can be relaxed without harm. > However, AFAICT, the standard form of a file: > URI on windows for a UNC path uses exactly that. Are you proposing that SQLite somehow work out if the supplied name maps back to the local machine? That would be mind numbingly hard!
