http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16206 Summary: winebrowser adds preceding slashes to 'mailto:' URLs Product: Wine Version: 1.1.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: urlmon AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: mitch074(a)gmail.com Hello, Stop me if I'm wrong, but winebrowser is in charge of handling calls to the http, https and mailto protocols in Windows applications running inside Wine - including, say, calls in VBA such as 'ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:=' If you pass an http resource there, Wine will defer the call to the system's default browser (say, Firefox). No problem here. If you pass a mailto resource there, Wine will defer the call to the system's default mail client (say, Kmail). That's where things get ugly: the mail address gets preceded by one or more '/' - and of course, sending the e-mail will fail. A very simple example would be typing in a terminal: winebrowser "mailto:test(a)thing.com" or winebrowser mailto:test(a)thing.com both open a Kmail/Thunderbird/whatever 'New message' window, with target address being '/test(a)thing.com' - notice the extra '/'. My guess: winebrowser is being a bit too enthusiastic in encoding/escaping mailto URLs. tested under Wine 1.1.4, 1.1.6 and 1.1.9. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
