So in the flash I have addressed the links this way: .\support.html For instance... This hyperlink will open "support.html" from the current path/location... This .swf flash will work in all browsers but in FireFox... In FireFox it redirects to an invalid URL... Please open www.us-vpn.org and from contact support page, click the hyperlink and see for yourself. Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open www.us-vpn.org. 2. Open Support page. 3. There a link named "For technical support please click here" Click on it both in FireFox and InternetExplorer... FireFox won't open the correct URL, but IE and all other browsers do... Actual Results: It redirects to an invalid URL Expected Results: Redirect to correct URL !!! That's it...
Use ./ instead of .\
www.us-vpn.org doesn't exist btw!
Sorry I mean www.usvpn.org !
./ instead of .\ ?! Some cases: In Flash help I've been advised to use .\ If I do so, it will work in FireFox? What about other browsers?! Why FireFox won't follow this standard?!
What done is when requesting .\support.html is: HTTP GET /.%5Csupport.html HTTP/1.1 Fix your link to ./support.html instead!
"\" is illegal in an URL and must be escaped and jesper confirmed that Firefox is doing that and it's not valid path delimiter
