Hi David,
I just noticed that you have four slashes on the beginning of your URL. Only
three are needed for file-local URLs. FYI, file-local URLs look like this:
file://localhost/path/to/file
Since "localhost" is assumed if missing, you can shorten it to this:
file:///path/to/file
If you put "//" a the beginning of the file-path, you are specifying an
absolute path rather than a relative path. But, since file URLs generally start
from the root directory anyway you end up with the same object.
file://localhost//path/to/file
degenerates to
file:///path/to/file
