Details

I tried to upload a file to bugzilla using

   file:///home/jmd/whatever

but bugzilla only recieved a blank file since it thought the name is invalid.

Would be handy if form submission striped off the file:///, since there are
times when the user has handy a URL pointer to the file they want to submit
(eaither from another browser window or where ever), and it's (I believe)
unambiguously not a normal path.
