[MarkLogic Dev General] uri scheme for / in MarkLogic Server?

[James A. Robinson]

Ok, that seems straight forward enough.  Do you folks generally recommend
one scheme over another? When I was first looking at the system I thought
it was interesting that I could load a document under a path like

  http://hostname.domain.org/fu/bar

or

  file:/fu/bar

Is using one form or the other likely to cause trouble?
