------- Comment #2 from Sebastian Dröge  2007-02-01 12:33 UTC -------
It seems that gnomevfs-ls for example just strips everything between the second
and third slash. Maybe we should just do the same for file:// URIs or just fail
for everything else. RFC1738[1] seems to require support for the hostname part
of file:// URIs...

Shouldn't be that hard to implement unless we want to support myhostname and
myipaddress and similar stuff as this would require some special magic to
determine whether it belongs to this machine or something else.
