Browser loading absolute image paths

[Henrique Boregio <hb...@gmail.com>]

Hi, I am trying to load a picture from a user folder, so I am storing
the picture's path and pasting it into the "src" attribute of the
image tag.

As an example, I have the picture named "profile.jpg" located at
"F:\workspace\project\pictures\2", so the corresponding HTML is:

<img wicket:id="image" src="F:\workspace\project\pictures\2\profile.jpg"/>

This picture exists and I can easily navigate to that folder using a
file browser, but it won't load from the browser.
How can I make the browser load absolute paths like this? Thanks.

This will never, ever, ever work. Image's src attribute tells the
browser where to look. Since your customers won't have
F:\workspace\project\pictures\2\profile.jpg (or possibly they might,
but that is a 0.0000001% chance), the browser will shows a 404 image
not found error in the best possible scenario, but probably will fail
because you can't refer to local resources from an external domain
without breaking the sandbox.

That will never work. You *might* have a chance using the file: URI  
scheme like

<img wicket:id="image"  
src="file:///F:/workspace/project/pictures/2/profile.jpg"/>


but, overall, this may be a security thing that requires configuration  
on the browser side to work in any case.
