Simple question: why am I getting new IllegalArgumentException: Path component should be '/' when trying to create a zip filesystem at the following URI:

file:E:/somedirectory/somefile

But this seems to work: file:/somedirectory/somefile

What if I have the same paths on two different drives and I need to access a specific one? Or am I completely missing the point of URIs in the first place?

    For paths that use windows volumes use the following format:

    file:///e:/somedirectory/somefile
    

    The triple /// results from omitting the URL hostname for local files. Compare: file://sometherhost/e:/somedirectory/somefile, which is valid according to the URI spec, if not actually useful for accessing files on remote volumes.
