[New-bugs-announce] [issue16300] Windows raises ValueError for file:///file/not/exists instead of URLError

[Senthil Kumaran]

New submission from Senthil Kumaran:

>From the Buildbot failure - http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20XP-4%203.x/builds/7573/steps/test/logs/stdio

I remember that we restricted the access for file:// scheme to localhost only for Windows/Cygwin. In terms of exception raised it could either be consistent with other platforms and raise URLError or it could be for good reasons, the tests may need to be tweaked for windows.
