This is related to a bug some of us have noticed with 1.0... Hopefully
it got fixed; no mentioned yet. :-/

Yeah, you can do the same thing with "file" vs "http" access to allow
local access for files, as we do here. Unfortunately, the URL
"file:/usr/local/www/home-page.html" breaks after you reference some
URL somewhere of "file://ftp.site.name/blah" because it's seen as a
relative reference, since the file: scheme is overloaded as meaning
both FTP and local files. (Last I checked, there is *no way* to
clearly refer to a local file; did an idiot for file://local/path ever
get implemented? I recall talk of it...)
and then:

By the way, I meant to say "idiom", though I guess the error might
have been Freudian...Thus said Marc VanHeyningen <mvanheyn@cs.indiana.edu>:
