You appear to be confusing file system paths (C:\Users\...) and virtual paths within the URL (that often map to file system paths but are not the same and can never include details like a drive letter). I may be wrong but you aren’t generating the URL in the code you’ve shared.

I could also spot a | bitwise operator where you probably wanted a || boolean one.
