Feature Request: support file URL

[chrislong]

It was really surprising when I discovered that I had to use a URL and that file URLs were not supported. I'd like to request support for file URLs. Absent that, it would be great to get a better error message.
Thanks!

File URLs are not supported by the version of cget this is dependent on, unfortunately.

I've started a fork that upgrades cget to the latest version (0.2.1), which supports file:// URLs.

I did this as a quick hack just to use file URLs, so some features were stripped as a result of some changes to the cget API. Notably, the forceHost / forcePort options are gone. Also, be aware I have only tested it with TS 2.4.x

Major +1 here, I am working with a local .xsd file and have no way to make this happen.

@samtstern
See above, here's a way to make this happen now:

1. npm install beaulac/cxsd#master
2. ./node_modules/.bin/cxsd file://${path_to_xsd}

Let me know if you have any issues 😄

No luck here:

$ npx cxsd "file://my-schema.xsd"
Unhandled rejection Error: Invalid protocol: file:

I also need this

[beaulac]

@nicojs, try:

$ npx beaulac/cxsd "file://my-schema.xsd"
Unhandled rejection Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'my-schema.xsd/'

So this tool cannot read a local schema file and generate TypeScript definitions?
