If an URI contains a reference to a remote host (e.g. file://myfoo/ ) the following error message is provided: ValueError: non-local file URIs are not supported on this platform: 'file://myfoo/'
Expected behavior
While the error-message is correct, it could be improved in order to explain the behavior and suggest a solution to the user.
It is quite likely that the user wanted to use a local file, and not a file located on a remote host.
The following error message is suggested: 'file://myfoo/' points to the domain 'myfoo'. Non-local file URIs are not supported on this platform. Did you mean to use 'file:/myfoo/'?
In version 22.3 the stack-trace is included in the error message as well. I don't think that this is needed, since the error message above would explain the issue.
