------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 3 10:06:30 -0800 2006 ------- After poking around in http://rfc.net/rfc2396.html, section B "Parsing a URI Reference with a Regular Expression", and playing with http://www.cuneytyilmaz.com/prog/jrx/, I agree this is a special case. (Note: jrx requires forward slashes escaped) in RE. Also, I learn in this discussion (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2003Feb/0035.html) that... "there _must_ be a host field, although the host can be omitted. So, if you're asking is it 'legal' to write 'file:/e:/xxx.pdf', the answer is no, not according to RFC 1738, you must write file:///e:/xxx.pdf, which is valid. ...which OOo seems to reflect. I notice also that MSWord uses three slashes for links with drive letters when saving a htm file. I don't know how the original submitter created their documents, but in trying to isolate the issue I created my example using notepad.exe. btw, I had always thought that file://e:/xxx.pdf was legit, since it worked with Mozilla and IE. To handle this case, perhaps consider that the "e:" is like "hostname:port" but with null for "port". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
