view-source doesn't work on windows xp sp2

we have a web application that uses view-source protocol to open a text file.

after installing sp2 on the client machine. that client machine cannot open
the web file using view-source protocol.

i believe its part of the security feature included in sp2. but we would
like to disable it only for our intranet site.

please help me figure out how to allow view-source protocol on our intranet
site

here how we use view-source:
view-source:http://server/virtualfolder/filename.txt


if i use http protocol it works:
http://server/virtualfolder/filename.txt

View source protocol has been blocked by design on XPSP2.
