Yep, that's correct. The alternative is to use the alternative form, but as you point out, the preceding slash is certainly inconvenient. Anyways, thanks for considering this. ---------------------------------------- Feature #15861: Correctly parse `file:c:/path/to/file` URIs https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15861#change-78071 * Author: deivid (David Rodr�guez) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- Recently ruby has getting better at parsing URIs using the "file" scheme, with the addition of "URI::File". Still, some Windows edge cases are not implemented, and it would be nice to have them. For example, while the [addressable gem](https://github.com/sporkmonger/addressable) can correct parse "file:c:/path/to/file", the builtin library is not that smart yet: ``` irb(main):001:0> URI.parse("file:c:/path/to/file").path => nil irb(main):002:0> require 'addressable' => true irb(main):003:0> Addressable::URI.parse("file:c:/path/to/file").path => "c:/path/to/file" ``` I think this would be a matter of implementing https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8089#appendix-E.2, which is not normative but it would be certainly nice to have. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
