help with network links

[cafegeo]

I ran across something that said that you cannot update a local file !

For my sake I hope this is not true. Anyways if it is possible can you tell me what I doing wrong here. When you load doc.kml it does load link.kml but no updating takes place. No errors just does nothing.

doc.kml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">

<Document>
<name>KMZoutput</name>
<visibility>1</visibility>
<NetworkLink>
<name>link</name>
<Link>
<href>C:\link.kml</href>
</Link>
<refreshVisibility>1</refreshVisibility>
</NetworkLink>
<NetworkLinkControl>

Hi

It was told local files were not supported anymore. See:
http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php?Number=740658

But wait for another reply. Maybe I am wrong.

Yes, local files cannot update other local files anymore. Their recommended workaround solution for now is to install a webserver and use 'http://localhost'

cheers,
M.
