------- Comment #1 from mrowe at apple.com  2007-11-19 07:26 PDT -------
The issue here is that a HTTP site (http://127.0.0.1:5335/ in this case) is
attempting to access resources that exist on the file-system (beneath
file:///Applications/).  This is a potential security issue so such
cross-protocol access is denied.  As you mention, recent versions of other
major browsers have similar restrictions in place for the same reason.

The solution here is for Radio UserLand to serve up the files it wishes to
access from somewhere below http://127.0.0.1:5335/.    I suspect based on the
URL structure it may already do so at
http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/images/weblogDefault/header3.gif.  I would
recommend that you file a bug report with the developers of that application
and ask them to make such a change.  Feel free to have them contact me if they
need any further information.
