  Hummm, I think taht the error is that you should use
           file:///c:/tmp/MyFile.txt
instead of file://c:/tmp/MyFile.txt

   file://hostname:1234/a/b/c

is a perfectly valid URL ... Recheck RFC 2396 but I'm 99% sure about this

------------------

        I tried to parse the following url: file:///c:/tmp/MyFile.txt. I
got an error. It is unable to parse it.
The error is given in the code: uri.c, in function: xmlParseURIAuthority

these lines:

    if (!IS_REG_NAME(cur)) {
        return(5);
    }

Marc.
