see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791884#c11 >>> import urlparse >>> results_url = >>> 'file://C:\Users\jhammel\mozharness\src\mozharness\build\jetpe rf.txt' >>> results_url_split = urlparse.urlsplit(results_url) >>> results_url_split SplitResult(scheme='file', >>> netloc='C:\\Users\\jhammel\\mozharness\\src\\mozharne ss\x08uild\\jetperf.txt', path='', query='', fragment='') So apparently windows paths aren't parsed the same as unix paths o_O . Though now that I say that it does sound strikingly familiar. In unix, the path goes in the (you guessed it) 'path' part of the segment just as God Intended. Sadly, I think the solution is to parse our own damn file:// urls. This sounds like a job for mozfile.
