That's wrong too Kevin.
We should *never* try to bypass the server even when it's localhost. Why ?
Imagine the file is a jsp, cfm, php,... If you don't use the URL, these won't
be used correctly.
Let's assume that the administrator knows what he wants, if he uses an http URL,
use HTTP. If he usesa file URL, access directly to the file.
Note: this was disabled for security reasons. I don't think it's relevant because
URLs can only happen in the registry which should be maintained by an administrator.
