I think it specifies a host C. The colon should be accepted as separator
for the following port number, IIRC the production is
   file://[user[:password]@]host[:port][/pathcomponent?]*

A C as hostname would be legal. But the string above fails the port
part of the production, if there is a colon, a decimal number designing
the port should follow.
