Xapian discuss - Jul 2009 - IE8 links

When xapian returns URL's I can;t click on them using IE8, I get "cold 
not be found".

If I do right click properties on the link I get  
file://192.168.1.2/test$/Helix0307.pdf

If I put in \\192.168.1.2\test$\ IE pops open windows explorer

If I put in \\192.168.1.2\test$\Helix0307.pdf I get "file not found"

But if I put it in Start..Run it opens in Adobe.

Anyone else had the same issue ?

Do you really mean file: there? Looks like something in Windows is
automatically streating it as a samba URL (smb:), so you might want to
try that.

In any case, unless there's a bug in say omindex's URL construction,
this isn't really a Xapian issue...
