Bug Description

Assuming a file on current working directory named 'foo.txt'. Curl used to be able to access the file (with version 7.35.0-1ubuntu2.9 and earlier) with command

    curl file://foo.txt

After updating to 7.35.0-1ubuntu2.10 on Ubuntu trusty (amd64), this no longer works, but fails as seen below:

curl -v file://foo.txt
* Rebuilt URL to: file:///foo.txt
* Couldn't open file /foo.txt
* Closing connection -1
curl: (37) Couldn't open file /foo.txt
