Re: Re: streams file uri under windows

From: Alan Knowles > you could follow the nautilus standard for this and use > smb://hostname/sharename/file.txt ? Can't do that as this is stemming from an issue with libxml. It uses the file:/// syntax when needed. Currently with the change in streams, it fails the check as it is now deemed to be a remote host. This causes the libxml I/O handler to fall back to its internal file handling which I would eventually like to diasable all libxml I/O and not allow it to fallback on anything if it cant match a php stream handler. That being said, imo either the check should be tightened up a bit (for all platforms) or just removed and let it issue whatever error it currently does if it cant open the stream. using file://localhost/localpath will fail on all platforms - though it perfectly legal. file:/// will fail just on windows due to the current check, but on other platforms will allow anything after it. If I make that proposed change, it will allow file:/// but since you can place any path after that (local or remote) and it works, it makes the check a little pointless. I have no problem adding my change in there, but it seems that it just adds to the wtf factor since if you then use the file:/// syntax, you are free to use any path you want to bypass the remote host check.
