[udig-devel] url to file and the magic of C:\

[Jody Garnett <jgarnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple of the conversations on the list lately have been concerning 
things not working when on windows drives other than C:

I found the following code in AbstractRasterService:
> AbstractGridFormat frmt = (AbstractGridFormat) getFormat();
> URL id = getIdentifier();
> if( id.toExternalForm().startsWith("C:/")){
>     id = new URL("file:///"+id.toExternalForm());
> }
> this.reader = frmt.getReader(getIdentifier());
I wonder if it is the source of some of our problems? Does anyone have 
suggestions on what we can do better here?
