I have a link to a shared mapped drive and I can confirm that the link is good, but the browser’s ignoring the click. Can someone confirm that browsers ignore file:/// href’s when they appear on a secure page?
Ok, so the issue is that it’s explicitly being denied. The rule is: no access to resources via file:// from a page received via http[s]://. It’s a separation of security realms. It’s also more clearly defined by a mozilla plugin.
