In the file:// url an empty hostname implies 'localhost'.
It is quite obvious how the resource is to be retrieved in that case, but one wonders how the resource is to be retrieved in the case that the hostname is not empty --- this is straightforward to figure out for http://, https://, and ftp://, but not file://; in other words, what is its protocol?
