c.f.: 3.2.2. Server-based Naming Authority

  format for those kind of URLs are
    protocol://host+user+passwd/pathtoresource

it also state that RFC 1738 defines some existing schemes
  http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html

  File is 3.10 FILES
  "As a special case, <host> can be the string "localhost" or the empty
   string; this is interpreted as `the machine from which the URL is
   being interpreted'."

   
  hence file:///foo/bar

is /foo/bar on localhost machine
while file://foo/bar
is /bar on the foo machine.
