There's no available RFC of file URI scheme.

=begin
 URI doesn't seem to output file URLs properly where there is an 
absolute path part.

 For example.

 require 'uri'

 my_url = URI.parse("file:///var/lib/libvirt/images/")
 p my_url.to_s

 "file:/var/lib/libvirt/images/"

 The double slash '//' should always appear according to the file URL 
specification.
