file:// URLs and Winblows
Just came across this "snippet of wisdom" in the Maven users list:
Just came across this "snippet of wisdom" in the Maven users list:
file:// defines the file protocol
file://localhost/ is the root adress on your local system
file:/// is the short form of file://localhost/
file://///server/share/ addresses the "share" of "server" in a Windows network, which is a convenient form of file://localhost/\\server\share\, since the path from your local system to the server's share is \\server\share
Got it? Any other mixture is a concession to user's habbits and may or maynot be supported by the URL parser of your product/app/browser.
