Details

I noticed that the OSX convention for file paths is not used in favor of the OS9 convention for file paths. For example, the root directory is "/" in OSX while in OS9 is "Mac OS HD:" (or other equivalent drive name). I wonder if it has been left in intentionally, as many other programs for OSX follow the OSX convention.

Duplicate of bug 140606?
Summary: OS9 conventions used in OSX in address bar → OS 9 conventions used in OS X in address bar
bug 140606 seems to be about the special case of this bug (file://localhost/foo), whereas this one would be about file://foo/ If I'm reading it correctly, bug 140606 would depend on this one, basically just looking for /localhost and knowing to ignore it.

Bug 140606 started out as just the localhost question but has evolved to encompass all OS X local URL issues. Take a look at some of its other dupes. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 140606 ***
