  If you pass a windows path to an URI parsing routine this may not
work, and that's perfectly okay. The semantic and syntax is dictated by
the corresponding RFCs (2396 though it's now obsoleted and I should update)
and there is no way I'm gonna change for example the parsing of the
scheme related part and change it on windows. An URI is an URI and
the syntax and processing must be platform agnostic. Maybe the URI routine
should not be called but modifying the URI code is not in order,
I can't apply that part of the patch,
