Hi,
if this is slightly off-topic please take the time to suggest an
appropriate list. I am an avid Safari user and am trying to develop
software that will run smoothly on the various versions out there.
I am using php to automatically write local web pages that are accessed
at http://localhost/~me/index.php?page=whatever.html
the pages contain links to local files using the
"file:///User/me/local/file" syntax.
this works perfectly on OS X 10.3.8 running Safari 10.2.4 but on a 10.4
machine running later versions of Safari the
"file:///User/me/local/file" links are not followed. IE respects the
links on both OS's and Firefox (0.9.3 and 1.0.6) respects the links on
neither. if I save the page source and open the page as
http://localhost/~me/source.html (no php involved) all browsers respect
the links.
I think I am right in concluding this is a bug/feature that was
introduced into Safari after 10.2.4. I am sure it is good security
practice but would appreciate any ideas on how to get around it / turn
it off?
Many Thanks,
Devin
