Thanks, that tool is very useful! So what happens with file://localhost/home/marcel/curl/tests/log/test200.txt is that curl receives that argument as is, it successfully writes to /home/marcel/curl/tests/log/test200.txt, which translates to the Windows path C:\msys64\home\marcel\curl\tests\log\test200.txt, and the test passes. What happens with file://localhost//home/marcel/curl/tests/log/test200.txt is that it receives the argument as is, tries to write to //home/marcel/curl/tests/log/test200.txt, and fails. WIN32 is not defined when building with the MSYS GCC.
