My message at Mon, 6 Jun 2011 09:58:42 -0800 corrected the URI to 
file://localhost/home/peter/blah.html and file:///home/peter/blah.html.

According to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1738 , Uniform Resource Locators (URL),
"A file URL takes the form:
       file://<host>/<path>
...
As a special case, <host> can be the string "localhost" or the empty
   string; ..."
   
Unless I've missed something in a later RFC my corrected URIs are correct.

Thanks,                          ... Peter E.
