Dealing with relative paths to local file's URIs

Hi

I recently converted the File I/O of my HTML Editor to GnomeVFS (it previously
used the standard FILE* API of the standard C lib).

However for local files, now it only accepts the absolute path to the file.
Relative paths like some/weird/foo/bar/dir/file or ./filename or ../filename
are no longer accepted, and gnome_vfs_open_uri gives the "Invalid URI" error.

So any suggested way to deal with this shortcoming/problem of GnomeVFS? Maybe
using stat in conjungtion with GnomeVFS or is there a helper API to the
GnomeVFSURI API?

Thanks in advance
