Version: 3.2.92 (using KDE 3.2.92 (3.3 beta2), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22 When left-clicking on a link with a remote file:// URL I get a Security Warning dialog saying "This untrusted page links to file://eis2k214/some/path/Unbenannt.bmp. Do you want to follow the link?" but when I right-click on that link and select open in new tab or window, I don't get this warning dialog. For me it's not really a security problem, but at least it is inconsistent.
Still present in 4.1.60 svn trunk 831729. The warning is only present with the left click over the link. sample test with a simple html in a webserver: <a href="file://whatever">file://whatever</a>
The same applies where the link leads to an unusual file type (e.g. a PDF document). Left click puts up a box with "Open <link>? Type: mimetype [Save As] [Open with] [Cancel]". So does Ctrl-left click to open in a new tab. But Menu-Open in New Window or Menu-Open in New Tab do not, they just open the file immediately.
Still reproducible with KDE 4.8.0
