That's not correct. A URL is:

	scheme:hierarchy [?query] [#fragment]

Where the hierarchy can be one of:
	non-absolute-path
	/absolute-path
	//authority/absolute-path

So the following URLs are correct and different from one another.
	scheme:foo
	scheme:/foo
	scheme://foo
	scheme:///foo

The particular case of whether scheme:/foo and scheme:///foo represent the 
same resource depends on the scheme's handler. For most schemes, an empty-but-
present hostname is equivalent to an absent hostname: for the "file" scheme, 
they would be the same file.

QUrl honours the distinction of present-but-empty and absent parts of the URL, 
with the exception of the port number.

Note: I have no idea about the OP's problem.
