So if program runs from a particular directory and references files as
file:///some/file, then if someone can create a directory called file:
in that directory with some/file inside that, the program will
suddenly try to access the wrong thing? Seems suspicious to me.
Two points:
(1) This is not what the code does. If it looks like a URL, it will be
treated like a URL, period. The io fns will simply refuse to open a
file whose name looks like a URL.
(2) The purpose of the IO helper fns is not to provide the "one true
way" to get things. Their purpose is convenience. There are *already*
easy ways to get things, and to be exact about interpretation. These
even play nice with the io functions:
; convenient
(reader "blah")
; URL or die
(reader (URL. "blah"))
; File or die
(reader (File. "blah"))
