Failure in revision e23af8f: tests on MSWin32

[particle]

Tests fail on the MSWin32 platform due to incorrect conversion of URI strings to filenames.

I have provided a minimal patch available at particle@7cd50d8

The test output is included below:

This should be fixed by your pull request as I understand it.
