Using a Web browser with file: on NFS-mounted files on Mac OS X?

I'm finding it hard to get any browser (but I'm really interested in
Mozilla) to work with the file: URL form on my Mac OS X box. I'm
newly off a Solaris environment, where I could use URLs like
"file:/home/janssen/foo.html" with impunity, where /home/janssen is an
automounted NFS directory. This doesn't seem to work at all on Mac OS X.
"file:///home/janssen/foo.html" doesn't work either.

The only time I have seen file: work with automounted NFS directories,
it's been with a really wierd URL, like

file:///%3Cnfs%20-1004%3E/foo/bar/bletch.html

This looks like some kind of underlying NFS mount point. Is there some
way to finesse this?

Bill
