I must right click the link and choose Save Link As... to save the file. If I bring up the identical page running on an app server of another host, say serverB, selecting the link works as expected, displaying Microsoft's Opening dialog. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a web page with the a link to a local file on Server A. See details for sample link. 2. Deploy the web page to the app server running on Server A (I suppose a web server would work too) 3. Run your browser on Client B, display web page from Server A. 4. Click on link. Nothing happens Part 2 5. Deploy the web page to the app server running on Server C (I suppose a web server would work too) 6. Run your browser on Client B, display web page from Server C. 7. Click on link. 8. Opening dialog appears. Actual Results: When the web page link points to a file that resides on the server's disks, nothing happens when clicking on the link . If the web page link points to a file that resides on a different server's disks, an opening dialog is displayed. Expected Results: I expected an opening dialog to be displayed in both cases. The trivial work-around is to right-click and chose the Save Link As... menu option.

How do you access the server html page ? With file:// in both cases or with http:// ?

The server page was accessed using http://. Then I would click on the link that confined the file:// uri.
