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

----------------------------------------
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.
