------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jan 19 04:40:22 -0800 2007 ------- Hello Kay, I apologize-- I was casting a wide net two days ago for any information that could help me get this working, and I didn't bookmark most of what I had seen. Obviously, having read the spec, I tried that and it didn't work for me then. Yesterday, I retried it, and did get some error messages along with way, but was eventually able to get everything I tried working. This left me wondering if I had really typed what I thought I had. It even reached the point that I rebooted my machine, cleared my OOo config, and tried everything again, just to make sure. Again, everything worked. My write up is at http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=202357&highlight=#202357, and my documentation on file URL's is at http://OpenOfficeTechnology.com/documentation/OpenOffice-Configuration/File_URLs. I am not at this point left with confidence that file URL's are really working reliably or robustly, but was eventually able to get every thing working and was not able to consistently reproduce any failures. I would be interested in hearing what you tried and saw in your testing. In my testing, I was trying file URL's in the File | Open dialog, as well as the template path configured in org.openoffice.Office.Paths/Paths/NamedPath['Template']/UserPaths (see Paths.xcs) and the default template file set by org.openoffice.Setup/Office/Factories/Factory['com.sun.star.text.TextDocument']/ooSetupFactoryTemplateFile (see Setup.xcs). This issue should probably be marked as invalid, because as Stephan pointed out, there is no ambiguity in the spec between a local URL and a network URL. For a network URL, it is ambiguous whether the server name is a UNC name or a DNS name, but I don't know if this makes a difference in the lower level networking code.
