Two ideas:
1. do many things understand the host-form of file:// links? I know
it's in RFC 3986, but I only remember the file:///blahblah form working
in the wild.
2. where is the action and what does "View Source..." around it look like?
I think the line in opac-detail.tt is
[% IF ( itemdata_uri ) %]<td class="url"><a href="[% ITEM_RESULT.uri
%]">[% ITEM_RESULT.uri %]</a></td>[% END %]
and that gets fed things from opac-detail.pl
itemdata_uri => $itemfields{uri},
which itself comes from a call to GetItemsInfo in C4::Items
which I think is just returning whatever came in the SELECT from
mysql, so I don't see how this could be going wrong... anyone?
Hope that explains,
