[ruby-core:92713] [Ruby trunk Feature#15861] Correctly parse `file:c:/path/to/file` URIs

Issue #15861 has been updated by deivid (David Rodríguez).


Yep, that's correct.

The alternative is to use the alternative form, but as you point out, the preceding slash is certainly inconvenient.

Anyways, thanks for considering this.

Recently ruby has getting better at parsing URIs using the "file" scheme, with the addition of "URI::File". Still, some Windows edge cases are not implemented, and it would be nice to have them. For example, while the [addressable gem](https://github.com/sporkmonger/addressable) can correct parse "file:c:/path/to/file", the builtin library is not that smart yet:

``` 
irb(main):001:0> URI.parse("file:c:/path/to/file").path
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> require 'addressable'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> Addressable::URI.parse("file:c:/path/to/file").path
=> "c:/path/to/file"
```

I think this would be a matter of implementing https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8089#appendix-E.2, which is not normative but it would be certainly nice to have.
