Too many things changed in these two years - there is not much
common code between XEP 2.72 and XEP 3.77 :-). In its current
shape, XEP should work with UNC notations specified using
an even number of slashes:
src="url(file:\\caaa013n\propfiles\Photos\61\61040602.jpg)"
src="url(file://caaa013n/propfiles/Photos/61/61040602.jpg)"
src="url(file://\\caaa013n\propfiles\Photos\61\61040602.jpg)"
src="url(file:////caaa013n/propfiles/Photos/61/61040602.jpg)"
or simply
src="url(\\caaa013n\propfiles\Photos\61\61040602.jpg)"
This works with Sun JRE 1.3 and 1.4. However, other Java
machines may have their own quirks about parsing UNC-style
file URLs; additionally, most servlet engines have a bad habit
to redefine URL handlers, and forget to take UNC names
into account. For maximum safety, I'd rather recommend
mapping a network disk and accessing the images through a drive letter.
Best regards,
