Yes, we need to really do a pass over the Url... there is Url (from old Squeak).

+1 for that. Though I try to use URLs (URIs) have to draw a line and hit FS directly at a certain point...

The problem is in FileUrl, which is related to different path encoding scheme on windows (use drive letter(s), and back slashes instead of normal ones).. i'm not sure if Zinc can help there, because its urls mostly for http.. if i'm not mistaken.

True. The situation isn't any better in Java or PHP BTW. Tcl does a bit of effort to get there tough. / for everything and it gets translated right. Tcl and Smalltalk: lovely homoiconic languages of art someone can master. Le 27 mars 2012 18:08, "Igor Stasenko" <siguctua@gmail.com> a écrit :

Yes, ZnUrl is HTTP(S) specific and does not include a number of aspect that are in URL like uername and password. File URLs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme) are more complicated because of platform differences, the way things seem to be on Windows is a bit scary, for me at least. Cleaning up and/or unifying the URL/URI mess would be a nice project.

this part is closely related to command-line arguments handling.. on windows things, which expected to work, like: vm image.image <pathToScript>.st fails to find the script, because it messing up with back/forward slashes in path and at the end it transforms an input into escaped slashes, which is of course cannot be found in file system...
