[Bug 12617] New: winebrowser does not handle commands with arguments

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12617

Summary: winebrowser does not handle commands with arguments
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.59.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

winebrowser doesn't work with browsers/commands that
are more than one word.  For example, the command to run konqueror
with the webbrowsing profile on kubuntu is:

kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing [url]

Setting that to be the first attempted webbrowser in the registry:

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-4\Software\Wine\WineBrowser]
"Browsers"="kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing,firefox,mozilla,opera,dillo"

and running:
winebrowser http://www.winehq.org

yields this:
Considering: kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing
argv[1]: http://www.winehq.org
Considering: firefox
argv[1]: http://www.winehq.org

I sent in a patch for this a while ago, this is the latest revision:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-January/034937.html
The patch had some problems and I haven't gotten back to working on it.  Now it
probably needs to be updated for the latest changes to winebrowser.
As part of the solution, the patch changes the registry key that stores the
browsers to try to a REG_MULTI_SZ value.  Since this changes the wineprefix,
this should be fixed before 1.0.

Is xdg-utils installed on your system? If so, Wine with default settings
should already give you the behavior you describe.

This isn't about default settings.  This is about being able to manually* set
winebrowser to launch something with arguments.

*with regedit, or with some configuration module or script.  I ran into this
when trying to create a default browser setting for wineconfig (a KDE
configuration module for wine).

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.6 or newer) Wine?

No response in 6 months => abandoned. If you still have problems in current
(1.1.19 or newer) wine and can provide the requested information, feel free to
reopen.
