I think the difference in =23relative= =3F =23absolute=3F behaviour also points that absolute URI with =22file:/= /=22 should be =22open=22-able

=46eature =23= 8544: OpenURI should open 'file://' URIs
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/= issues/8544=23change-55497

The following code prints the contents of '/tm= p/file.txt':

require 'open-uri'
open('/tmp/file.txt').rea= d =7B=7Cf=7C puts f.read =7D

which although useful should prob= ably fail since a unix file path is not a URI, and therefore might shield= data problems in a system

However the following should produc= e the same output and is a URI, but fails:

open('file:///tmp/f= ile.txt').read =7B=7Cf=7C puts f.read =7D

I note that the docu= mentation for open-uri does explain that it is a wrapper for http, https,= and ftp, but to deserve its name it should open such URIs as specified i= n this R=46C: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1630. This coupled with the f= act that it already does open files, but not by a URI specification.
