You have to specify the full "path", relative url won't work with the view-source protocol.

With some Javascript, you can bypass this limitation if the "full" path is not known. 

<a href="example1.htm" onclick="location.href = 'view-source:' 
  + this.href; return false">example1.htm</a>
Try it here
