From what I heared from windows users you are making your life too easy
:-)

In one of the mails I got somebody told me, that host OR share may
have defaults. I hope that somebody tells me that this is wronge, because
the default host is easy to describe: Just dont use //

samba:/share/path

But what to do if the share has a default ?

smb://host/xyz

may be the default share with host xyz or the share xyz with no special
path. That is damn ugly!

But perhaps my information is wrong. In addition I heared that they have
workgroups which are somehow represented, too .....
It may be more tricky then you think.

On your topic David:

Our problem WAS to discuss how to handle URLs like //www.kde.org.
I dont see any open points here anymore.

Bye
Torben
