Details

I was using Mozilla 1.1 Beta. Build ID:2002072104. Consider the following in an HTML file: <html> <br>fmxm0001<a HREF="file://MACHINENAME/E$/results.ini.html">Detailed Test Log</a></font> </html> The link could not be resolved by Mozilla. There seems to be a problem using machine names in the path. If I replaced the "STEVEKPC/E$/" with E:/ there is no problem. I access these file over a network so we need to be able to reference the machine name. IE 5.5 and 6 have no probs. Tried to repeat on latest Mozilla build 2002082304 but it won't stay up long enough for me to test it ;-)
file://///RAISTLIN/F$ works. you need more slashes. (please don't reopen, at best we can resolve this as a duplicate of some other bug which is either WORKSFORME, WONTFIX or INVALID)
