Fixes sharkdp#1843 Changed the host() function for Windows to return '/' instead of '' to generate RFC 3986 compliant file URLs with three slashes. Before: file://C:/test/hi%20there.txt (broken) After: file:///C:/test/hi%20there.txt (works) This fixes hyperlinks failing on Windows when file paths contain spaces or other characters that require percent-encoding.

It looks like some tests are failing. Probably the tests for hyperlinks need to be updated.

We should probably also add an entry to the changelog as well (sorry, I should have mentioned that in my previous review), but looks good.

Fixes #1843
This PR fixes hyperlink generation on Windows when file paths contain spaces or other characters that require percent-encoding.
Problem
On Windows, fd was generating file URLs like
file://C:/test/hi%20there.txt(2 slashes) which don't work in Windows Terminal. Paths without spaces worked fine, but paths with spaces failed to open.Solution
Changed the
host()function for Windows to return"/"instead of"", generating RFC 3986 compliant URLs with three slashes:file:///C:/test/hi%20there.txtChanges
src/hyperlink.rsline 61 to return"/"for Windowsfile:///+ drive pathTesting
The fix addresses the exact issue reported:
