file: protocol in URL generator in Windows

Is it possible to use the file: protocol in the URL generator processor with a Windows path? I can't figure out the correct syntax, e.g.,

file:/D:/blah/blah.xml

This doesn't look correct to me, and naturally, it doesn't work.

Ethan,

It should be possible, because I think we just passe that directly to the URL handler.

Did you try with one, two or three slashes?

I tried with two prepended to the filesystem path, actually. On a Linux system, file:///usr/local/projects/blah/blah.xml works. In Windows, file://D:/blah/blah.xml doesn't. Does the URL generator expect 1 or 3 in Windows?

Hi Ethan,

I don't have a Windows system handy to test this, but looking this up I'm finding examples with 3 slashes for Windows file: URLs, as in file:///D:/blah/blah.xml. Have you tried that already?

Hi Alex,

I've confirmed that file:///C:/... works.

Thanks,
