I'm using '/' for the reason you state. However, Thiago has a point
for remote files. If Strigi is passes a filename, e.g. /a.zip/b, it
cannot open it. So it removes the last part and tries to open /a.zip
which works. Then it looks for 'b' inside of a.zip.
For remote files, this approach is expensive. I'm not sure what the
best solution here is, but for the part of the URI that should be
handle by Strigi, only '/' will be used as a delimiter.
