Correct! And libcurl actually skips the entire <host> part so you can put
whatever you want there and libcurl won't care.

I think libcurl is doing it wrong. It assumes a unix-style path to follow, so
it uses the path part with a prefixed slash (since the path is treated as an
absolute one) which leads to it trying to open something like
"/C:/tmp/testfile" ...
