Greetings, gophers! I've spotted rather strange behavior of os.IsNotExist on Windows.
This snippet[1] s := "http://example.com/"; fi, err := os.Stat(s) if os.IsNotExist(err) { fmt.Println("Not a file") return } mode := fi.Mode() if mode.IsRegular() { fmt.Println("File") } works perfectly on Linux but panics on Windows. This happens because of os.Stat returns an error "CreateFile http://example.com/: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." (errno 123[2]) for such input, but os.IsNotExist(err) returns false. Is this a bug in os.IsNotExist[3] or such behavior is intentional?
