Re: Fwd: Re: URIs vs. half-baked URIs [glib PATCH]

[Waldo Bastian <bastian kde org>]

Hi Daniel,

I fail to understand you. Are you saying that absolute URIs like
file:/home/devel/alexl/all_types.c are broken and that they should be
file:///home/devel/alexl/all_types.c ?

You make references to some sections in RFC 2396 but I fail to see the 
relevance of that. Maybe I'm missing parts of the discussion though, please 
explain.

Cheers,
