XCLN: Explore Web Page Fails Opening FTP Address (186705)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Outlook Web Access 5.5 SP 1
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q186705 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Outlook, you can open a contact's Web page by clicking Explore
Web Page from the Actions menu, or by clicking on the address in the Web
Page Address box.
However, if you try to do the same thing in Outlook Web Access and the
specified address begins with "ftp," Outlook Web Access attempts to open
the address with " http://" instead. This may cause the operation to either
attempt to open a different Web address than the one specified, or fail if
that address does not exist.
CAUSE
If Outlook Web Access does not see a protocol specifier (a colon) on the
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) listed in the Web Page Address box, it
defaults to use " http://".STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Outlook Web
Access version 5.5 Service Pack 1.
