Hi Robert,

I applied this but I think I'm going to have to revert this since it is
in fact a valid use case.

The sstate.bbclass code sets up SSTATE_MIRRORS as PREMIRRORS. Its quite
common to map those file:// urls to remote http:// urls and with the
above change, this no longer works.

Cheers,

Richard
