Apparently, this is a relative URL reference (one that does not
start with a protocol, like "http:", "file:" etc.).

The URL Reference specification requires your browser to resolve
relative references into absolute URLs. It must do this by prepending
a base (if the reference does not start with a '/' but is not empty)
or the "current" protocol (if the reference starts with '/').

You must generate an absolute URL (probably starting with "file://".
