The current eglot--path-to-uri implementation should produce a valid
file:// url unless what it receives is already a URL.

So it could receive something like:

/home/user/project/whatever.c
d:/what/home/is/on/windows/whatever.c

Both of which should be transformed into file:// URLs
OR what it receives may already be a URL like

zipfile:home/user/project.zip::/path/in/zip.c

If it receives a URL, we want to pass it along, and not transform it
into a file:// URL.

If it is a full windows path, we DO want to turn that into a file url.

So how do we detect that is is a windows path, and not a URL already?
That's what I was trying to get at in the other message you replied to.
Just checking the user's current OS is not enough, because this function
could also receive a URL on Windows.
