Description
When I call
driver.get("C:\\Users\\User\\Path\\HtmlUnit-tests\\src\\test\\resources\\scrollTable.html");
I get
java.io.IOException: Unable to create URI from URL: c:\Users\User\Path\HtmlUnit-tests\src\test\resources\scrollTable.html (reason: Illegal character in path at index 5: c:///\Users\User\Path\HtmlUnit-tests\src\test\resources\scrollTable.html)
Running on Windows.
The Firefox driver can open this path without issues.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Windows failure with the driver.get call and trace how the disk path is converted into a URI. Compare the failing path handling with the Firefox driver's behavior. Done means a Windows disk path opens successfully without the reported URI exception, with regression coverage for this case.
