[GNU PDF Library]

THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE, DO NOT REPLY.

A new Flyspray task has been opened.  Details are below. 

User who did this - Aleksander Morgado (aleksander) 

Attached to Project - GNU PDF Library
Summary - pdf_fsys_file_get_url(): Implement proper  Uniform Resource Locators 
as per RFC1738
Task Type - Sporadic Task
Category - Filesystem Module
Status - NEXT
Assigned To - 
Operating System - All
Severity - High
Priority - Normal
Reported Version - START
Due in Version - BASE-LAYER-0
Due Date - Undecided
Details - Current pdf_fsys_disk_file_get_url() is pretty wrong:
* in windows, it assumes the url is the same as the local path
* otherwise, it just appends "file:/" to the local path
Same for pdf_fsys_disk_http_get_url()...

We should really implement URLs as specified in RFC1738, and actually modify the pdf_fsys_file_get_url() API so that it doesn't return a pdf_text_t and return a NUL-byte-terminated (pdf_char_t *) instead (encoded in 7-bit ASCII with %+hex hacks for non-ASCII characters. 

Worth checking how others do it (glib?) and/or if there is a gnulib module 
already for that (and if not, then may be worth creating one).

Setting the task as High priority.
