Hm. I only read parts of the Quicktime format specification and could
find very little about it, but I noticed that it says:
"A value of 'alis' indicates a file system alias record." (Chapter 2,
page 91, "Data Reference Atom",
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/QTFF/qtff.pdf).
In which case your implementation is just plain broken, since a value of
"http://test.com/test" then would have to open the _file_ named thus,
whereas your implementation would try to open a http connection.
And the generated filename indeed can start with http:// since the
"volume" part at least in the current implementation can contain any
string.
