           Summary: KURL/Safari doesn't handle UNC properly
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: brettw at chromium.org


Some IE/Windows compatibility issues I noticed:

file://foo/bar should be treated as UNC like IE. UNC file URLs copied from IE
will fail to load in Safari.

Links on web pages of the form "\\foo\bar" should be treated as absolute UNC
paths to file://foo/bar.

Relative links of the form "/hello" on pages loaded from a UNC base path of the
form "file://foo/bar/" should be "file://foo/hello" rather than "file:/hello"

A more comprehensive set of tests for IE-compatible UNC file path handling is
in the CanonicalizeFileURL test in:
