Description

Unlike Python, which has URL manipulation support in the standard library, C & C++ don’t make URL manipulation as convenient. While running Saxon C samples on Windows I came across a couple of places where filepath-to-URI conversion broke because handling windows separators is complex… we should at least provide a helper function for parsing filesystem paths into file URIs, given how important they are in daily use…

See testXSLT30.cpp line 1151:

string baseURI = string("file://") + sproc->getcwd();

and testXQuery.cpp line 360:

string baseURI = string("file://") + processor->getcwd();

Both these examples will produce bad URIs on Windows: something like file://C:\SaxonDev\not\a\real\uri.xml
