Edge shows error "Not allowed to load local resource" viewing PDF files on a WebDAV server, unlike Google Chrome

Question

This was working last week...

When I try to load this link from a computer on the icognition.cloud domain I get the error

file://test-cm244-webdav.icognition.cloud/DavWWWRoot/CaOQDH0Zz1JKM5ufw1yl3dpWMiLsezEPksNnvySe96zL94JbwBt5K27AWzFaWhopCVtHWFJsK_dtsovZLFQISRZDpwCw4eLW/102118/sample-1-small-size.PDF

"Not allowed to load local resource"

However it works fine from a machine not on the domain

The DNS entry for the hostname is not a local IP address, it is the public static IP address

Hi @catmanjan ,

Unfortunately, WebDAV has been deprecated so it is not recommended. For users needing to open PDF files from through WebDAV, we can use Adobe Reader or Microsoft Word. Alternatively, users can copy the file to their local disk and open it from there.

For this particular problem of "Not allowed to load local resource", we suggest you send feedback in Microsoft Edge at ··· menu --> Help and feedback --> Send feedback to provide more information to the Dev Team. Thank you for your understanding.
