Hi, I have some questions on file URI. 1) I understood that there is no need to escape the ':' sign in examples like <file:/e:/xxx.pdf>file:/e:/xxx.<file:/e:/xxx.pdf>pdf file:///e:/xxx.pdf but is it legal to have it escaped <file:/e%3A/xxx.pdf>file:/e%3A/xxx.<file:/e%3A/xxx.pdf>pdf file:///e%3A/xxx.pdf ? And in general, is it allowed to escape even characters that are not reserved in this context ? 2) I understood that the sign '&' is not reserved except inside a query. So in case I have a file name including space and '&' , should I escape the space to %20 and not escape the '&' ? <file:/c:/test/George%20&%20Sons.doc>file:/c<file:/c:/test/George%20&%20Sons. doc>:/test/George%20&%20Sons.doc or <file:/c:/test/George%20%26%20Sons.doc>file:/c<file:/c:/test/George%20%26%20 Sons.doc>:/test/George%20%26%20Sons.doc 3) About relative file URI. I understood it should be something like "./foo.pdf" without the <file://>file:// scheme. But would <file:///./foo.pdf>file:///./foo.<file:///./foo.pdf>pdf be also legal ? Thanks in advance Israel
