Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-7398:
-----------------------------------------

If it helps (and not already done), I can do this tomorrow evening (CEST).

But the assumption to prefix "everything" with {{file:///}} (three slashes 
before drive specification) is wrong.
[MSDN|http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2006/12/06/file-uris-in-windows.aspx] 
specifies the URI format:

{{ 'file://' <server> '/' <share> '/' <path> }}

The 'server' part is only empty for local files that are accessible via a 
drive-letter-mapping.

One quick way out of the dilemma might be this os independent (pseudo) code:

{noformat}
String configUrl = System.getProperty("cassandra.config");
URL url;
try
{
    // try to parse URI
    URI configURI = new URI(configUrl);
    url = configURI.toURL();
}
catch (UriSyntaxException...)
{
    // wrong URI format - try via file path
    URI configURI = new File(configUrl).toURI();
    url = configURI.toURL();
}
{noformat}


> Using the -Dcassandra.config VM param needs a "file:///" prefix for the 
> supplied URL
