[Kdiff3-user] access to http://...

[YC C. <pet...@gm...>]

Hi,
I've been pouring over KDIFF3 since a few days now. It's a fantastic tool!
My version is kdiff3-0.9.92, and I use kdiff3.exe on Windows.
Another miracle is that there is no installation and kdiff3.exe runs!
The doc says there are potential problems on KIO slaves...

Indeed, I would like to access an url with http://etc. However both
kdiff3.exe and
kdiff3-qt4.exe appends the current directory in front of http:/etc. (removed
/) and
reports that the file/dir cannot be found.

Typing http://etc. in my browser did get the file I wanted to compare.
In particular, the url is http://localhost/application/data/file.txt. I plan
to go live soon.

Is this normal? I did not install anything (KIO slaves ?) on Windows.
Is there a way out?

Thanks!
