Using Apache 2.4, serving selected documents at "localhost". Browser is Firefox (40).If I "Save a Link as a File" using a FF extension, or bookmark a link in IE, I get a file "xxxx.url" which is a plain text file with lines such as
"URL=http://localhost:8080/pub/doc/.......html";If I click such a file in the Windows File Explorer, it does what it should and launches FF. The extension follows the link and I can read the target. However, if I click the URL file in a "Directory List" served from Apache, I get the plain text file displayed. I can go to the target with one or two extra steps, but it's a PITA.
It seems what I should do is to parse the file in the server and send a "Permanently Moved To" redirection to the browser. Or, I suppose, I could simply do the redirection; but somehow that feels less safe.
Now, if I can be allowed a second question in the same post, can I do the same thing with Microsoft ".lnk" shortcuts? It would be a simple script operation to transform the local FileSystem path to a "localhost:8080/" path.
