It is a quirk/anomaly of our language that file, binfile and resfile urls are not RFC1630 compliant. I’m pretty sure they were implemented before the RFC.. They are presumed to not be URL encoded and to not include “//[<host>]“. Unixes should cope fine with the extra “//“. They won’t like the URL encode path though.
