It is more like a sound ;-)

Reiner whispered that <host> was collapsed to nothing when the url was
local, ie a local file here. Then we get file:///some/file.txt on
un*xes, but on w32 we get the first case above. There is no way to get
the second case on w32 if Reiners suggestion for reading is correct
(and I am not mistaken...)
