Allow local file access from safari

Hello,

i'm having some problems with Safari:
i have MacOSX 10.6.6 / safari 5.0.3 / Quicktime 7.6.6
In my network (LAN) i have a webserver (apache / php) , with safari i can go to this intranet web site without problem.
But some html page call a quicktime object to load some media file, this file are store on an other server (SAN) with only samba access.
To open video file from a MacOsx client, i map the smb share and the url of the quicktime movie is like file://Volumes/SmbName.
With this setting quicktime do not open the movie (it was good on OSX 10.5.x), and for example if i save the html file in local client and reopen it, all is good.
I think that safari security forbidden local file access from none local url.
Do you now a way to disable this security ?
Thanks for your reply, and sorry for my english... Not so good.
Regard's

Mac OS X (10.6.6)

I would post same question on Snow Leopard board, it looks like a Network issue not a Safari issue.

I'm stuck exactly in the same situation.

We need to develop an Intranet app that needs to access local (file:///) resources using quicktime plug-in.

It's not an issue it's a general security policy, almost present in modern web browsers by default but it can be explicitly disabled by advanced preferences customization.

e.g. on Mozilla Firefox we can disable the security check by setting the property:

pref("capability.policy.default.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");

how can we disable the security check on local filesystem resources in Safari?

Thank you!
