Re: file:// scheme processing makes invalid assumption

Greetings.

Amaya 9.4  (distro: amaya-WinXP-9.4.exe)

Extending this issue a little...

Samba:
	\\linux-machine\webshare\sub-directory\filename.html

Windows:
	\\windows-server\sharename\filename.html

Amaya cannot handle the UNC prefix '\\' and strips the first '\', leading to an empty file being loaded.

Attempting a file:// approach: file://linux-machine/webshare/sub-directory/filename.html
results in amaya transliterating to C:\linux-machine\webshare\sub-dir ... etc.

Regrettably, this makes (windows) amaya unusable in a UNC environment.
