> I ran the URIs through QUrl

Well, you can't do that. They are URIs, not URLs. Only the first one is supposed to \
be a URL and should validate against all. That indicates a problem in QUrl somewhere.

The idea is that Konqueror creates those automatically. If you click a zip file in \
file://home/me, it'll automatically generate the URL \
multi:///?p1=file,/home/me/file.zip&p2=zip,/

The user will see a mess in the Location, but it'll work. Hence the idea of a cleaner \
URI for KDE4.

> multi:gzip:,zip:/file

We would enforce that only the first protocol is allowed a \
username-password-hostname-port part. That is, everything after the first one has \
just the first slash.

As for the second option you gave, that would be an error because no file was given.

The big problem here is that that's a URL and we can't change its meaning. That URL \
means file "file.zip|zip/file.tar.gz|gzip|tar/file.tar.bz2|bzip2|tar/file.txt" in \
/home/me on your local filesystem. That can't be changed.

We could add in a multi: prefix, which would allow us to change the meaning of the \
special characters. But in that case, we would stumble upon what I had proposed as \
URI, only with pipes instead of commas. \
