file:/// is correct. With URLs, the high-level is some sort of network
identifier, the next is the host, followed by the absolute path on the filesystem.
http://host/directory/file.ext
says to use nothing for the network ID (that's the absence of anything between the
two slashes).
file:///C:/blabla
says to use nothing for the network ID *and* nothing for the hostname (which isn't
needed for a local file).
