File.toUrl, is this a bug? the problem

Mon Apr 14 03:24:00 GMT 2003

Hi,
I am using a version from thisiscool.com (gcc33-20030324).
I took the cvs version and I think the problem is as follows:
- the File.toUrl() returns something like:
"file:/c:/thisiscool-gcc/examples/reflect/src/list" (java.io.File#779)
which is parsed at java.net.URL#331 after that the URL.getFile will
return "/c:/thisiscool-gcc/examples/reflect/src/list". From this point
all the problems begin.
- the exception is thrown probably in the native FileDescriptor:
natFileDescriptorWin32.cc#116 implementations
A simple example to generate this error:
File file = new File(args[0]);
URL url;
if (file.exists()) {
 url = file.toURL();
}else{
 url = new URL(args[0]);
}
System.out.println("url = " + url);
String fileName = url.getFile();
System.out.println("fileName = " + fileName);
FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream(fileName);
Len
P.S. I am sorry I can not help more but windows is not my native or
favorite platform.
