Description
Problem
Windows 10
Version 21H2 Build (19044.2006)
rustup 1.25.1 (bb60b1e89 2022-07-12)
The path to the file index.html is build by concatenating the folder and "index.html".
On Windows "/" instead of "" is used.
Steps
- rustup doc --book
- firefox fails to open D:\Rust\toolchains\stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\share\doc\rust\html\book/index.html
- Should be D:\Rust\toolchains\stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\share\doc\rust\html\book\index.html
