I'm currently trying to get a successful test suite run for curl compiled with
MSYS GCC, which has more Unix-like behavior compared to MinGW.
(Or, to be exact, I'm trying to be able to add autotools builds to AppVeyor
with only what is preinstalled.)
Virtually allfile:// tests are failing. They use paths like
file://localhost/%PWD%/log/test200.txt
which translates to something like
file://localhost//home/marcel/curl/tests/log/test200.txt
Note the double slash after the host name. This works fine on Linux, but
doesn't on MSYS.
Is this format on purpose? Is it defined to work and an MSYS bug or something
we should fix in the tests?
I don't think that ever worked for msys. Older versions allowed
something like file://localhost/foo to read from the root of the current
drive but that wouldn't work the way you expect. Like if the current
drive was c it would have attempted c:/home/marcel/curl/..... Recent
versions are stricter. I don't think it's an MSYS bug. curl for windows
( I assume WIN32 is defined here?) is going to attempt to write to
windows paths, does msys filter that? I know it does with command line
arguments so if you write -o /home/marcel/curl/out it actually changes
the argument to something like -o
C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/marcel/curl/out. I have an argumentparser [1]
that can show you what happens.
