Detail

Links to locally available machines used to be automatically translated from file://amachine to file://///amachine

This makes firefox work with locallinks plugins allowing intranet links to internal windows shares to work.

Without this ability my intranet TWiki will die which would be very upsetting.

I have previously added this code into Render.pm

lib/TWiki/Render.pm:

# Firefox implements URIs properly which means it
# wants file:///// for links to local files.
# People however want to write file:// and IE lets both
# work so this encourages people in their bad behaviour.
# Note that this needs a user.js on Firefox to allow the
# link to succeed.
$url =~ s%file://([^/]*)%file://///$1%g;

This was in the sub external_link just above the #SMELL comment (which is still there in the beta I am running).

I have done a test at TWiki:Sandbox.TestTwoOrFiveFileLinkSlashes - no rewriting takes place.

This is not something that was previously in TWiki released code, but a useful enhancement.

Any thoughts on other browsers / risks?

Degrading to enhancement.
