It's not that important. There are many such quirks in various SMB
implementations.
It was the intent of early SMB developers that servers should accept
'A:' to further qualify the target is a filesystem resource and
Windows servers follow this behaviour which technically makes it a bug
in the iSeries SMB implementation.
However, apparently Windows clients never request 'A:' and always
supply the default '?????'. Because there are no CIFS protocol
standards, the general rule is that a Windows NT 5.x implementation is
the "standard" to follow. So by that reasoning it is also a bug in
JCIFS.
And since we fixed it in JCIFS, there's really no point in reporting it.

That's the website which was never meant to be viewed locally.
Although you should be able to browse into the api/ directory locally.
