Long File names and Internet Explorer
Authored by: Paul Burney on Apr 06, '02 09:11:15PM

Another problem with long file names has to do with Internet Explorer reading local files. I've noticed this with MySQL documentation and others.

For example, the location:

file://localhost/Reference/mysql_manual/manual_MySQL_Database_Administration.html

results in a "File not found" error, even though the file with that exact name exists in that location in the Finder. In fact, other browsers (iCab, NS 6.2, OmniWeb) display the file fine.

(Another pet peeve: On the mac, all of the browsers reference files on the hard drive in a different way. Arghh...)
