[REBOL] Rebol/View dll errors with file location
From: bry::itnisk::com at: 18-Mar-2004 23:38
okay I have an interesting bug in the
plugin: I found this out cause I'm building
an explorer button, the button loads a html
page in IE's _search window using the
file:// protocol, so it refers to
file:///c:/winnt/web/toolbar.html?location=a
string here; now if a string here is some
normal string like howdy everything is fine
but if it is an actual http:// path that
causes a real problem, causing the
Rebol/View dll shell to open up and ask me
to enter desktop :)
so doing some more experimenting I stripped
out the actual protocol part of my http path
and got the following:
** Access Error: Cannot
open /C/WINNT/Web/testbar.html?
location=localhost/sites/mmc_dotnet/testbar.r
** Near: do/args script system/script/args
quit
>>
I think if there is going to be working with
files in the browser environment which will
accept a file opened with the file protocol
with this syntax then there should probably
be better handling of the conversion to
rebol path before an attempt is made to open
it.
Haven't tested but I wonder what the result
would be with a http url with the same
structure:
http://pathname?
querystring=http://otherpathname
