Cannot repair the malformed "URL" field contained in "Edit Local Site" dialog wi [message #280476] Thu, 03 February 2005 18:31 Go to next message

While testing my deployment process on Linux, I defined a "local" update
site on a Linux box (say: /home/tdj/workspace/my.update-site.project)
then when I tried to use it, I see messages on the console that lead me
to believe that the resultant URL (e.g. file:/home/tdj/ ... ) should
actually be something like file:///home/tdj ... which I think is a defect
in the construction of the URL

This led me to discover the second problem ... on Windows, I can clearly
see that the URL text box is not meant to be edited (it is grayed out).

On RedHat Enterprise Linux 3/GTK, the URL text box appears as if it is
editable, but it is not.

Are these considered legitimate defects? I didn't find them in Bugzilla,
so if someone else thinks they're worth reporting I will definitely
do so, with more precision.

Thanks,

Tom Johnson

The URL correct format must be your responsibility, but feel free to open
bug reports for the problems you encountered.
Even better, patches are greatly appreciated :-)

The URL was formatted by pressing the "Browse" button and
browsing. It seemed to me that should produce a properly
formatted URL. Oh well ...

Either one file:/ or three file:/// should work, but not all systems
agree. Microsoft uses file:///, so pretty near everyone else supports it.

However, if a Browse button produced the URI and it doesn't work on your
system, it's definitely somebody's bug.
