now it makes sense why the three slashes....
i found the "scheme:..." definition but it left out the machine name.
thanks Joseph!!

"file:///local_file_name". Three slashes, not two.
You can think of it as being just like any other URI --
"scheme://machine_name/what_to_retrieve" -- but with the machine_name left
blank since it's assumed you're talking to your own system. You need two
slashes to introduce the machine_name, and one more slash to say you've
reached the end of the machine_name and are ready to start saying where
the machine should look.
