It does sound like a lot of fun ... but I'm working so I'll live it to someone else who can afford to play around :)
One more thing, I don't really care about hacking Firefox or Safari ... I just tried them out to see if my app is dumb or other apps have problems too :) _______________________________________________________________________ Valentin Dan, Software Engineer Direct: +1 905 886 1833 ext.3047 Email: valentin....@masstech.com Office: +40 356-710158 Masstech Group Inc.

Short version: You can't. <file:///\\10.1.1.1\SomeFolder\FileName.jpg> isn't a valid file: URI; the fact that it works in Internet Explorer on Windows is more by mistake than by design. You can create smb://share/path URIs that ALMOST work similarly, but they aren't recognized by the URL Loading framework or by Firefox. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can try writing your own NSURLProtocol subclass to handle these types of URIs natively. However, note that: 1. Your code doesn't affect other applications, so Safari (and other browsers) won't gain the benefit of your subclass without ugly hacks. 2. Your code won't affect Firefox at all, because it uses its own URL loading framework. 3. Samba is ugly code. Massively, incredibly ugly. It is not fun to work with. However, you'll probably have to dig deep into it to implement this sort of thing. Have fun. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
