Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 BuildID: 2002053012 I added a file://c|/foobar.doc url to an html page, but when I click on it in the Mozilla Navigator, nothing happens. the strange thing is that when I right-click "Copy Link Location" and paste in the navigation toolbar, the file does get opened. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a c:/foobar.doc 2. create an html page containing a href with file://c|/foobar.doc 3. open the html page in mozilla and click on the link Actual Results: Nothing happened. Expected Results: I'd expected to get the open/save dialog for the foobar.doc file. Sample HTML: <html> <body> <a href="file://c|/foobar.doc">foobar.doc</a> </body> </html> I initially ran into this problem with a file://///nas1/users/vons/foobar.doc URL, but discovered that the same thing happened with file://c|/foobar.doc ; so it doesn't seem to be related to either network URLs or URLs with a local drive letter. Also, this (both file://///nas1/.. and file://c|/..) works fine with both IE6 and NS4.79
Reporter: Do you load the html from your HDD or from a web-server ?
I load the file from a web server (it seems to work if I open the html using its path)
This looks like bug 122022.
