[CMake] ExternalData on unmounted Windows shares?

[Jakub Zakrzewski]

Did you try: "\\share.host/foo/bar/%(algo)/%(hash)"? (probably you gonna need proper escaping).
Note, that UNC paths begin with "\\" and in this case they cannot be substitued with "//". Also - this is windows-only.

Subject: [CMake] ExternalData on unmounted Windows shares?

I'm trying to put some large-ish data files on a windows share and then reference them using the ExternalData module.  I'm running into problems setting the ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES properly.  Neither "smb://share.host/foo/bar/%(algo)/%(hash)" nor "//share.host/foo/bar/%(algo)/%(hash)" work.  For the former ExternalData reports

  "unsupported protocol"

and for the latter

  "URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL"

Is there some way to point to an unmounted Windows share?
