specifying a URL as a property location [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Mi...@health.gov.au]

Hello.

We've got a server which holds all our common files.  I'd like to be able 
to reference these files via a URL instead of mapping the network drive to 
a directory.

Specifically, I'd like to do the following:
        <property name="ivy_root_dir" location="https://tgecld01/ivy/"/>
        <property name="ivy.cache.dir" location="${ivy_root_dir}/cache"/>
        <property name="ivy.conf.dir" location="${ivy_root_dir}/config"/>

Unfortunately ivy.conf.dir resolves to d:\.....\https:\tgecld01\ivy\config 
 Not what I wanted.

Is it possible to set a property location to be a URL?  Is there a better 
way to do this?

Michelle :)
