>> It will be hard to detect that /sudo::/foo is equal to file:///foo. Maybe (in this case it might be reasonably easy, but of course there are harder cases). But the fact that it's sometimes hard doesn't justify preventing file-handlers from trying to handle it when they can. I.e. don't just assume "different file-handler => different file". > Agree, don't think that in real life people try do something like > copy /sudo::/foo ==> file:///foo This whole bug report started because someone tried to make a similarly silly "copy to itself".
