(Note: I checked in a fix today - 3/18/99 - to RDF's file system datasource to never append trailing slashes on file URLs that point to directories. I then noticed this bug.) On Mac, file URLs to directories end with a slash; for example, "file:/// Hard%20Disk/Applications/". On Windows however, file URLs to directories do NOT end with a slash; for example, "file:///C|/Program%20Files". (Don't know about Unix, don't have a build handy.) It seems that the right thing to do is have all platforms always append a final trailing slash for file URLs that point to directories. QA: To test for discrepancies, in AppRunner you can load in "resource:/res/rdf/ sidebar.xul" and open the "File System" container. It should work on all platforms and you should be able to see the actual file URLs.

Set target milestone to M4.

When an nsFileURL is initialized from a filespec, this is possible, and indeed I fixed it yesterday. I'm hoping to check it in really soon. If it is initialized from a string (or by concatenating with a string), then it is the caller's responsibility to provide the trailing slash. Accepting bug.

I did actually check this in. Marking fixed.

Bulk moving to XPCOM, in preparation for removal of XP File Handling component. (XPFH has received two bugs in ~5 months, and is no longer in active use.)
