[PATCH] Bug #6812 (take 2)

["Peter M. Goldstein" <pe...@yahoo.com>]

All,

Sorry.  I inadvertently introduced a bug in the absolute URL handling in
the previous revision of this fix by stripping off the leading '/'.
That'll cause a problem on non-Windows systems.  Here's a corrected fix.

All,

The attached files are a patch for bug #6812, improper handling of
absolute file URLs.  Basically they consist of a check to see whether
the URL starts with '/' after the initial file:// protocol prefix.  If
so, the initial '/' is stripped off and the resulting string is taken as
the file path.  If not, the base directory obtained from the block
context is prepended to the string to obtain the file path.
