Re: [PHP-DEV] Scheme identification in stream wrappers

[Sara Golemon]

You know, I could have sworn that I only looked for a : as the separator.
Not according to php_stream_locate_url_wrapper():
   for (p = path; isalnum((int)*p) || *p == '+' || *p == '-' || *p == '.'; 
p++) n++;

   if ((*p == ':') && (n > 1) && !strncmp("://", p, 3)) {
       protocol = path;
   } else if (strncasecmp(path, "zlib:", 5) == 0) {
       ...
   }
Which of course says: "It it ain't [a-zA-Z0-9+.-]+://, and it ain't zlib:, 
then it ain't a wrapper."

I seem to remember a discussion about this in the past, but don't
recall the details.
The only thing that positively leaps to mind is the ability to 
read-from/write-to alternate data streams under win32.   But I suppose that 
could be worked around easily enough.  If nothing else an explicit file:// 
scheme when that's needed would remedy the problem.  Remind me what the 
*nixes do with ':' ?
