That information was *not* in your post, so no, there was *not* enough
information in your post. I am happy that we found the correct answer
despite that. It is strange that you're claiming to have provided enough
information by citing data that you did not provide us.
Because at the time I did not know it was relevent
Hence the need for an SSCCE.
You knew it was there. You knew you didn't provide it. You *assumed* it
wasn't relevant. Here's the guideline: *all* the information is relevant.
This still doesn't explain how you claim there's "enough information" when you
omitted to provide that information to us. It's not "enough" if you don't
share it.
Yes, of course it can't parse a URL string of that form. Had you
"Of course"? Why is it so obvious?
Backslashes, duhh.
included that datum in the original post we could have answered with
complete certainty instead of probabilistically (and, as it turned out,
correctly). We'd have seen that you used backslashes in the URL string,
and been able to focus right in on that for you.
I do not think that's the problem
You *told* us that's the problem! See the first line in this post that I
quoted from you: "doesn't like it if the path is http:\\...". That was you
who posted that, right?
Why do you suddenly think that's not the problem, after telling us that it is?
Where's our SSCCE demonstrating the problem, if that isn't it?
Why when everyone says "SSCCE" do you argue against it, yet still demand that
we service you, oh, master? Don't you think you're being insufferably rude,
arrogant presumptuous by obstinately refusing to cooperate, yet still
demanding of us to be your little help slaves?
Because you are.
Stop giving out tiny, incomplete little dribs and drabs of useless data,
contradicting yourself, and refusing to provide what we simply need to help
&you*, or at least stop expecting people to volunteer to answer your questions
if you flat-out refuse ask them cooperatively or intelligently.
Please.
