From michael.baron at bbsrc.ac.uk Mon Dec 3 03:02:46 2007 From: michael.baron at bbsrc.ac.uk (michael baron (IAH-P)) Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 11:02:46 -0000 Subject: [Locallink] exception thrown by locallink Message-ID: <88F7F2EC6769F94487FAEA19357EA511038CF4AA@iahpe2ksrv1.iah.bbsrc.ac.uk> Dear Michael, firstly thanks for the locallink extension, it is really useful, especially as my institute puts lots of forms and other data on its internal pages as file:// links. Some of these are giving me problems. If the format is file:///drive_name:/path_to_file that works OK. If the link is written as file://IP_address/path_to_file (where IP address is the normal 4 integers specifying the fixed IP address of the server on our network) then nothing appears to happen. When I look at the error console in FF I see: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH) [nsIWebNavigation.loadURI]" nsresult: "0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml :: loadURIWithFlags :: line 170" data: no] which appears exactly when I try to Open the link through the contextual menu. I tried several links and I get the same message each time. FF version is 2.0.0.11. I did try Minefield, and that didn't show any difference. LocalLink v is of course 0.3 Any ideas for a fix/workaround? I am unlikely to get the people who run the various web pages to change things, and in any event I hate the format that uses a drive letter, as it screws me when I try to access the pages from my (Mac) laptop. regards, Michael *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+ Michael D.

This same link worked earlier. The message is: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIWebNavigation.loadURI]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml :: loadURIWithFlags :: line 170" data: no] I have a reference link on an intranet which I get users to test their firefox with. I know this same link was working not too long ago - a month or so at the most. I have just seen the same link return the error with firefox 2.0.0.10 and 2.0.0.11 from 2 different boxes. The version of locallink is .3. OS is windows xp. As reported by Michael Baron: The link of the pattern file://mybox/mydir doesn't work. The link to the same location as a drive file://f:/mydir/ does. I checked the page source and the url is not being mangled by my web server. I also think your plugin is great :-) bye Pam Legal Disclaimer: *********************************************************** This e-mail and the information it contains may be privileged and/or confidential.

Pamela and Michael: Thanks for your valuable reports. It seems that problem started to show up after a recent update to Firefox. Can you confirm that those links worked with an earlier release of FF 2.0.0.x, and maybe which one? If I understand correctly, you're trying file: URLs for remote locations (via hostname resp. IP address) which are Windows shares. I'm not sure this is supposed to work (any more). Do you happen to use something like the Noscript extension on these browsers? As a side note: I will be terribly busy until the end of the year, hopefully things will get better then. If I don't appear to be very responsive (there's quite a ToDo list for QuoteCollapse) it's because of that; I'm still interested in keeping my extensions work, or providing alternatives.

I am using an older version of Firefox on my mac laptop, and there I do not get an exception, instead I get a file_not_found error. However, I am assuming that that is a problem with the Mac talking to the Windows network. The links are not really "remote locations" as they are on the institute site network. Other links to the same server which specify it by the network mapped drive letter work (from Windows). I think the use of IP addresses was so that the documents COULD be read by people at our sister site, which IS remote. I am not sure why they could not just use the server name, perhaps that would not cause a problem. note that these links work with IE, using IETab (though I don't like to use IE if it is avoidable). I am not using Noscript (at work). regards, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Michael J Gruber [mailto:locallink-owner at mozdev.org] Sent: Fri 07/12/2007 11:34 AM To: Pamela Duffy; locallink at mozdev.org; michael baron (IAH-P) Subject: Re: [Locallink] re exception thrown by locallink Pamela Duffy venit, vidit, dixit 04.12.2007 08:17: [snip] > I have a reference link on an intranet which I get users to test their > firefox with.

It works with the 5 slashes that should technically be there. My test link is on an internal Twiki. It had previously translated the 2 slashes in file://fred to 5. An upgrade to the twiki has changed this slash translation feature - so it is a Twiki bug or feature change not a locallinks bug. I received an email not to the list which pointed this out so I tried it again and double checked the html source this time. I tested it with firefox 2.0.0.11 and a 2.0.0.7 I found on a computer that hadn't been updated. The uncaught exception I reported i generated for the wrong number of slashes. I also got it to generate this uncaught exception with a hostname that could not be resolved by my dns: Error: uncaught exception: Load of file://///testhost/Templates from http://mywebserver/mytestpage.html denied. I'm very sorry to have wasted everyones time.
