I've got a CD containing documentation in HTML and PDF format. The documentation is for the OpenVMS operating system. The CD is designed to be used as any regular CD - not OS specific.
So, I mount the CD and it appears on my desktop. Inside is a main index document INDEX.HTML (note case).
The document opens OK in Safari, but the images don't load from the CD. When I click on one of the links the document is not found on the CD.
After some investigation I found out why. The HTML is encoded with a name like VMSDOC073/v73/6018/6018PRO.HTML. So Safari is trying to load /Volumes/VMSDOC073/v73/6018/6018PRO.HTML. But on the CD the v37 folder is actually V37 (capital V). In some cases the main HTML has the link coded with a lowercase filename (like 6018pro.html) but the actual file on the CD is (6018PRO.HTML).
Is there a way to get around all this case sensitivity? All the files referenced in all the links are in the right place, but because of case being different in either the link or the name - browsing won't work. This is also why images don't load.
The only thing I could think of was to star web sharing and browse with http:// instead of file://. But that failed too.
