not allowed to load local resource

[roee cohen]

Chrome is not allowing load local resource, It understandable why.

But , some time it realy necessary.

I am trying to enable ficher on my intranet app that when a user will click a link the page will open a windows file explorer to folder specifide in the HREF attribute.

<a href="file://[the project folder]">Project Folder</a>

Of course, Chrome return an error "not allowed to load local resource".

This option (opening windows file explorer to a local root) is so basic, that there must be a solution that will allow user to open the folder and still keep him safe (whitelist of sites allow to do so or someting like that [Trusted sites??]).

Is there a solution i am missing out?

Thanks a lot

file:/// URLs, if permitted, have a lot of power, which is why they are heavily restricted. For opening local HTMLs, you need a local web server. There are compact, standalone, open source and installation-free servers that can do that. I would not expect the file:// URL policy to change if I were you.
