$.ajax does not work on local machine

Description

In IE 6,7,8,9 requesting files using $.ajax on a file on the local machine with a path "file:///" does not work. It returns with error "Unknown".

In jQuery 1.4.4 this worked as long as the js execution context was also from the local machine

I should note as well that I am using absolute paths. For example file:///c:/foo.html

Could you please supply us with a reduced test case so we can see what code you're using to achieve this? - IE has some known gotchas when it comes to local file access but I can't advise further until I see what you've written.

Because it's local, feel free to send us over a file (however jsFiddle.net still works - we can always just copy the code out ourselves).

There's no specific code need, just the standaard $.get() and $.ajax() return "unknown".
