Difficulties with entering URL

Hi. I'm trying to enter an URL of xml-file in the service starting with: file: /// ... This is a local file, in other words. It gives an error: "URI does not specify a valid host name". Although I just copy the address of the local file opened in the browser. What's the problem? Need absolute url?

When you say local file, can the Thingworx server reach that location?

When you open it in a browser that means you are opening it client side.

Yes, I know that it's a client side. But what does the Thingworx server require to reach the file? Because, apparently, he can't reach him. And I don't really understand exactly this moment. That's why I'm asking.

If your Client side and Server side aren't the same box.

Then the Thingworx server is running on a whole different box with it's own domain and account.

You could log into that server and try executing the link on that box to see if it can reach the file or not.

At least this would cover the first requirement, can that box reach the file.
