urg, why do people keep doing that? this code is WRONG. (except if you
are implementing a protocol handler)
To convert from a file uri to an nsIFile:
var ios =
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService);
var uri = ios.newURI("file:///...", "", null); // <-- this is how you
// create nsIURI instances!
var file = uri.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIFileURL).file;
// now file is an nsIFile object.
you could also use
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/netwerk/protocol/file/public/nsIFileProtocolHandler.idl#64
but then you have to get the file protocol handler first.
