Notes 8 automatically replaces backslashes to forward slashes in DXL urllink-href attribute

Hi,

I have some code that automatically replaces servernames in dxl urllinks via dxl on some richtextfields in some documents.

Now Notes8 seems to automatically replaces backslashes in the href attribute of the urllink element to forward slashes.

Result: The links does not work anymore.

\server02\share\JavaKurs\uml\violet\howto.txt becomes:

//server02/share/JavaKurs/uml/violet/howto.txt

which doesn’t work.

I’ve found a workaround by replacing //server02 with file://server02.

But why does Notes8 automatically replaces the backslashes to forward slashes without being asked to do so anyway?

Notes65 doesn’t show this behaviour.

Any hints?

Regards Axel

Subject: need more info…

I like to learn more info on the behavior you are seeing

→ what version of V8 or V8x did you notice this first in?

→ can you post a sample of the xml if not full xml?

→ are you seeing this behavior on other platforms apart from windows?

Thanks

Sumeet.
