For what it's worth, the way Firefox solves this is: * Check if the file is an absolute file path ** on Windows, X:\... or \\... ** on Posix, /... * Otherwise, it's a URL relative to the current working directory ** So index.html resolves using the URL machinery to file:///c:/cwd/index.html ** while http://www.google.com resolves to itself
This doesn't deal with the case firefox.exe www.google.com (which would try to resolve as a file), but we decided not to care about this case. We do have the explicit firefox.exe -url www.google.com which will perform URI fixup to guess the correct URL. --BDS
