We have http://crbug.com/4436, and the problem is that if you launch chrome index.html (with index.html in the current directory) it will try to navigate to http://index.html/ instead. This behavior is useful for cases like chrome www.google.com, and generally I don't see a good solution to this issue other than WontFix. Other shell launchers are expected to pass a full path I think.
explorer.exe behaves in a reverse way (www.google.com fails, index.html succeeds). In firefox both local relative paths and urls without http work. What should we do for Chrome?
