      Confluence appears to mishandle editing and rendering of cifs/smb hyperlinks. I'll just refer to cifs from now on, but assume it applies to smb as well.

      While the URL cifs://atlassian.example.org/Public renders correctly, the editor will not allow the link to be edited once created. Placing the cursor inside the link does not yield the edit/unlink tooltip unlike http links. The only way to change the link is to delete it and recreate.

      Furthermore, Confluence appears to mishandle credentials within a cifs URL. While I understand Confluence probably strips passwords out of these hyperlinks, it is often useful to specify a guest account using cifs with an empty password.

      cifs://GUEST:@atlassian.example.org/Public

      This is handy because it bypasses the request for an account and password under OS X. I'm not sure what happens under other operating systems but I can imagine a similar arrangement.

      The problem is that Confluence removes the colon from the credentials part, effectively unspecifying the empty password. It renders the hyperlink as:

      cifs://GUEST@atlassian.example.org/Public

      This results in a password prompt when activated.
