@cha05e90

Update ... see post #54

No I don't have SAMBA. I use DHCP on my network interface and I have defined the hostname for my MicroA1 as minuet. This works well with our router on our home network. All our computers, game machines and wireless devices use DHCP. Many of them are identified by a hostname. So, for example, my MicroA1 is minuet, one of the pc's is hppav, the laptop is laptop.

I use SMTPpost with my homebrew sendmail program. SMTPpost requires a few environment variables, one of which is a nodename.

hostname for network interface = minuet
env:nodename = minuet

So, when I request OWB to access
file://minuet/dh1/webpage/html.html

OWB is asking for hostname minuet to provide the requested file. Minuet is the hostname of my MicroA1, so my MicroA1 searches for the file in the reqested partition and directory. I don't have a sniffer so I don't know if my system actually sends out the request to my router or if OS4 and roadshow are smart enough to intercept the request internally.

@joerg

I can also confirm that I can access an html file using "Open Local .." if the file is on my Sys: partition which is FFS longnames or on my DH3: partition which is SFS. If the file is on any of my JXFS partitions, I can not display it using "Open Local..".

Thanks for the tip Kicko.

On a side note, why there ain't no news item either here or at AW?
It would be good to use ChrisH detailed list of improvements (insted of the bare "solved OSDepot problems #403-etc. etc. etc.)

I'm planning to upload a new version sometime, which uses URLopen, rather than OpenURL, since the latter has started crashing on me. But glad to hear it works for you!

@ChrisH

Are you satisfying all of the conditions?

1) "Standard view" of GMail, not "Basic HTML".
2) Rich text input for Composing mail, not Plain Text mode.
3) Copying from outside of OWB (i.e a shell window) and pasting into the message BODY, not the subject or "To" lines.

.. AND using the ramiga+c and ramiga+v shortcuts for the copying/pasting.

?

Would you like to connect to me via VNC so you can try it on my machine? It's just a standard OS4.1 Update #2 install, no patches or fancy modifications.

Tomorrow I can try just booting off the OS4.1 install CD, bringing up the network and trying in OWB. Then that's something easily reproducable.

Ah, no. And if I switch to "Rich Text" (aka HTML email, bleugh) then I cannot past into it.

@redfox

if you have your file on a ftp server then you need to use prefix

ftp://

if you have http server then the prefix is

http://

if you have volume on your local disk then it's:

file://

You can't use host names whit file:// it's not network service.

@tonyw

Looks like your using "/" to many,

File://” prefix
“/” root directory on linux system

File:///mnt/c-drive/myfile.html

So this is okay in linux, but in Windows or AmigaOS, where you have volume names.

I noticed that OpenURL although it has a list of programs by default in prefs, none of them are activated when I 1st installed it.
If memory serves, I had to install by hand and that might be the reason.

In any case, your script crashes if a browser is not acive in the prefs.
Just thought I'd mention it in case that was responsible for your crashes.

I am simply giving my observations regarding OWB 3.28 on my MicroA1.
I do not know why it works this way.

"Open local ..." will open an html file if it is on my FFS partition.
"Open local ..." will open an html file if it is on my SFS partition.
"Open local ..." will not open any html file on any of my JXFS partitions.

file://minuet/dh1/webpage/myfile.html will open an html file on my JXFS partition called DH1:

---[ SNIP ... see update below ]---

It is the same if I use OWB 3.27.
I did not keep OWB 3.26 so I do not remember what happened there.

OWB 3.25 "Open Local..." works just fine on all my partitions.

redfox

UPDATE...
I have done some more experimentation today. It is not looking for my hostname. It is simply looking for something to be inserted between the second and third "/".

file://minuet/dh1/webpage/myfile.html ... works
file://redfox/dh1/webpage/myfile.html ... also works
file://xyz/dh1/webpage/myfile.html ... also works
file://g/dh1/webpage/myfile.html ... also works

file:///dh1/webpage/myfile.html ... OWB 3.28 will not display file

No, he's doing it right. The third slash separates the hostname from the path.

file://hostname/path/to/file

"hostname" can be left out, as file: only operates on localhost anyway.

I suspect this is a libcurl issue, rather than OWB, as NetSurf had the same problem. I worked around it by writing a custom file: protocol handler.
