I'm trying to open PDF file in browser that is on fileshare (outside my application folder) using Javascript.
Example: File location: \fileshare\folder1\folder 2\file.pdf
Chrome browser will open file using this url: file://fileshare/folder1/folder%202/file.pdf
Firefox browser will open file using this url: file://///fileshare/folder1/folder%202/file.pdf
In javascript command for open file in window I'm trying to use this: window.open('file://fileshare/folder1/folder%202/file.pdf);
In Chrome browser instead of file at trying to open that file via that mentioned URL I get "about:blank". If I remove "file:" from URL I get message "404 - File or directory not found.".
How to force browser to use "file:" in URL?
Notice: opening PDF files that are inside application is working fine
