Hi,
I have a problem with \useexternaldocument in a recent beta:
! I can't find file `file:/localhost/home/simon/programmeren/context/DocbookInC
ontext/hasbook.tuo'.
<to be read again>
\relax
\dodoreadfile ...normalinput \readfilename \relax
\the \everyafterreadfile
\doutilities ...textension }\donothing \donothing
\the \everyafterutilityrea...
<argument> ...ontext/hasbook}\empty \relax \relax
\ifx \fileprefix \empty \e...
\firstofoneargument #1->#1
\usereferences ...ist {#1}\loadedreferences \fi }}
\stopnointerference
...
l.9 ...ocbookInContext/hasbook][Hasselt in August]
This happens when I have 'file:' in the file name, but not when I have
a local file name without URI scheme in it. The problem seems to be in
\doreadfile, which goes over to \dodoreadfile, which insists on
finding this tuo file.
ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.29 fmt: 2003.1.31 int: english mes: english

The file checker tries to recognize url's which is also needed for:
\starttext
\typefile{http://www.pragma-ade.com/index.htm}
\stoptext
Are you sure the file:/ should not be file://, or: what schemes should be
supported?

A matter of much confusion. If I understand it correctly, file:/ is
correct, file:// is definitely incorrect, and file:/// is supposed to
be shorthand for file://localhost/, and is thus correct.
The // introduce an `authority' (a host), and the file protocol
(i.e. a file on the local filesystem) does not have one, or at best
the localhost. The Lynx browser uses the localhost variant, with
localhost explicitly in the URL. Mozilla uses the variant with ///.
See this test file:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" []>
<html>
<head>
<title>T</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>These work in Mozilla:
<a href="test.html">test</a>
<a href="file:test.html">test</a>
<a href="file:/home/simon/temp/test.html">test</a>
<a href="file:///home/simon/temp/test.html">test</a>
<a href="file://localhost/home/simon/temp/test.html">test</a>
<p>This one does not work in Mozilla:
<a href="file://home/simon/temp/test.html">test</a>
Mozilla removes //home (the authority) and looks for /simon/temp/test.html.
</body>

These days I am payed to know these things. However, I am not the only
one on this list who knows such details. And if it were about TeX, you
would know them, and more.

The following file runs without errors in ConTeXt ver: 2002.6.25, and
complains:
! I can't find file `file:/localhost/home/simon/programmeren/context/DocbookInC
ontext/hasbook.tuo'.
in ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.29.
\useexternaldocument[hia][file:/localhost/home/simon/programmeren/context/DocbookInContext/hasbook][Hasselt

Can you test it with the current beta? It works ok here. There has been
problems with file loading around januari when i was implementing direct
file access for graphics and so. Also, the latest mechanism is faster
(keeps track of found files) and provides a switch for testing:
\tracefilestrue

Indeed, it works OK with ConTeXt ver: 2003.3.4
systems : not found file:/localhost/home/simon/programmeren/context/Docb
ookInContext/hasbook.tuo
references : document file:/localhost/home/simon/programmeren/context/Docbo
okInContext/hasbook loaded
