How the new Edge will handle file:// URI ?
We've just started the first round of internal testing and this was one of the first issues pointed out.
We have a lot of file:// links to our central fileserver on our intranet website and not having them work at all is a big problem.
I've worked around the issue for now by adding our intranet server to the Enterprise Sitelist and having Edge render the website in IE Mode. That way the file:// links are working again. But this should definitely not "become a thing".
A whitelist of sorts would be nice. File:// links to any server/location listed on that whitelist would work, while all other file:// links would behave like usual - not do anything. That would be nice. It would allow us to whitelist our central fileserver while keeping "security high".
I've also opened a case about this, lets see if it leads somewhere.
