[Bug 26673] New: wine start foo.url does not open the url

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26673

Summary: wine start foo.url does not open the url
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.17
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, testcase
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

An application I installed provides a nice little .url file:
-----------
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.winehq.org/

-----------

on windows, double clicking that opens up my default browser and gives me the
webpage. Running 'cygstart foo.url' in windows does the same (wrapper around
windows start.exe).

On wine, however, I get:
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the
specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Success

and I don't get a nice wine gecko window :(.

perhaps it only needs to be added to tools/wine.inf?

Created an attachment (id=33974)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=33974)
wine.inf: Add shell handler for .url files.

Try this patch. I think cygstart translates the Unix path to the full
Windows path, so the Wine equivalent would be something like
wine start c:\path\to\shortcut.url

Yep, works fine, thanks.

http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/0a4dfa666542531abf77924a9c4...

looks related, but still in wine-1.3.17-173-g6eed4c4.

Works in git if I use the full path, but otherwise doesn't.

However, it only seems to be .url files that need the full path though, e.g.,:
$ echo hi > foo.txt
$ wine start foo.txt

opens notepad for me with 'hi' in it. Different bug?

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days. Development recommends
to check the status on your bug every release or two and let to be known if the
bug is still present. If not, mark it fixed. If you are no longer able to put
effort to this ticket, you can abandon it.

Is this still an issue with 1.7.7 or higher ?

This is trivial to test yourself. Yes, it's still an issue in wine-1.7.7

Without the file in place

wine start foo.url
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the
specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

with the file in place it's a lot more silent

fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid
{00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}
fixme:ntdll:NtLockFile I/O completion on lock not implemented yet

wine 1.7.51
