Issue #15861 has been updated by deivid (David Rodr=EDguez). Yep, that's correct. The alternative is to use the alternative form, but as you point out, the p= receding 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=EDguez) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: = * Target version: = ---------------------------------------- Recently ruby has getting better at parsing URIs using the "file" scheme, w= ith the addition of "URI::File". Still, some Windows edge cases are not imp= lemented, and it would be nice to have them. For example, while the [addres= sable gem](https://github.com/sporkmonger/addressable) can correct parse "f= ile:c:/path/to/file", the builtin library is not that smart yet: ``` = irb(main):001:0> URI.parse("file:c:/path/to/file").path =3D> nil irb(main):002:0> require 'addressable' =3D> true irb(main):003:0> Addressable::URI.parse("file:c:/path/to/file").path =3D> "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: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=3Dunsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
