[Advanced-java] URL & protocol

[Hicks, James]

Use 'file://<PATH>' where <PATH> is the path to the resource you want to
open.

Subject: [Advanced-java] URL & protocol

Hi there, it's me again...

I have a question that concerns the URL class and the protocol.



Suppose I want to open an URL to get a file on the hard disk...

I supposed the protocol would be "file://"

I tried to open a file in mozilla and what I get is file:///

Ie doesn't even show the protocol. 

A component I found on the net opens it with "file:/"

 Now I am a little bit confused ...

I checked out the api guide to get infos and it redirected me to 
http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/Demo/url-primer.html  which
doesn't say much concerning to my problem.



Do anyone of you can point me somewhere please ?
