@Cristik - from another hand, there is no internet resource URL scheme with three slashes. So one can claim that this is bug if I enter three slashes and are taken to the internet by my browser. Shouldn't error to be raised? file:// is request to local file, http:// is request to file somewhere (including local filesystem) using HTTP protocol. Three slashes are interpreted as request to access local filesystem. I don't pretend to be expert in this area and I have not read all the RFC-s so my interpretation is as good as anybody elses.

If that's the case, seems it's a bug in Safari, as the scheme is https, not file, in order for Safari to consider the url as a file url.
