/// tip

You could need the parameter to contain `/home/johndoe/myfile.txt`, with a leading slash (`/`).

In that case, the URL would be: `/files//home/johndoe/myfile.txt`, with a double slash (`//`) between `files` and `home`.

is widely used on most Java projects within Google, and widely used by many
other companies as well.



Guava comes in two flavors:

*   The JRE flavor requires JDK 1.8 or higher.
*   If you need support for Android, use
