Description
There are three ways to represent Windows network share paths in URI that are in use today:
file://host/path
file:////host/path
file://///host/path
Xerces-C++ only supports the later two. The first encoding is the Microsoft recommended[1] and Windows API functions construct URI this way. We should probably add support for the first format as well.
