I don't think that ever worked for msys. Older versions allowed
something like file://localhost/foo to read from the root of the current
drive but that wouldn't work the way you expect. Like if the current
drive was c it would have attempted c:/home/marcel/curl/..... Recent
versions are stricter. I don't think it's an MSYS bug. curl for windows
( I assume WIN32 is defined here?) is going to attempt to write to
windows paths, does msys filter that? I know it does with command line
arguments so if you write -o /home/marcel/curl/out it actually changes
the argument to something like -o
C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/marcel/curl/out. I have an argumentparser [1]
that can show you what happens.
