------- Comment #9 from alp at nuanti.com  2008-10-09 15:52 PDT -------
Seems that curl is doing locale-aware testing of the protocol part of the URL,
and 'i' (dotted i) in Turkish is not equivalent to 'i' in other locales.

While this is indeed a serious CURL bug, we can implement a workaround in
WebCore, which is to pass CURL the URL with the protocol part converted to
uppercase (FILE), where it doesn't exhibit the bug.

I'm willing to implement and test this workaround for our Turkish users, but
only after there's evidence that the CURL bug has been reported upstream.

Please let me know when the issue is reported to the CURL developers so I can
do that.

Cheers
