we could parse the *inner *url again to see if it has a protocol specifier,
and assume http if it doesnt [instead of assuming a file]
therefore this url
applehttp://xx.yy.zz.ww/abc/
            ----------------
            inner url part

will be parsed as applehttp://http://xx.yy.zz.ww/abc/
while file urls can be specified explicitly, as in
applehttp://file://usr/files/myfile.m3u8
            ----------------------------
            inner url part
