[Koha] URLS & eBooks

[Eric Bégin]

  Hi Chris (and all)

It seems that Firefox now prevents to open local files or files located 
on a local resource (\\ServerName).

See those links for more details:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Links+to+local+or+network+pages+do+not+work
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues_:_Links_to_Local_Pages_Don%27t_Work

The solution (thanks to StackOverflow 
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/192080/firefox-links-to-local-or-network-pages-do-not-work>)

    * type "about:config" in the address bar and accept "i'll be careful"
    * find "security.checkloaduri" in older versions or
      "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" in newer versions of
      firefox and change the value to "false"
    * restart firefox

Cheers,

Eric

Heinlein.lit I add this in as a URL however whenever anyone clicks on a link it redirects tohttp://olympus/cgi-bin/koha/%5C%5CZEUS%5CEbooks%5CRobert%20A.%20Heinlein%5CFriday%20%289178%29%5CFriday%20-%20Robert%20A.%20Heinlein.lit  can anyone suggest a good way of getting around this minor issue :)
