[Bug 9453] New: iexplore commandline args cause failure

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9453

Summary: iexplore commandline args cause failure
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-shdocvw
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Picasa uses the -nohome option to iexplore sometimes
(e.g. if you do About / Help and it can't find your
native browser?), and our iexplore just doesn't handle that yet;
instead of skipping the options, it tries to use them
as URLs, causing a confusing blank screen for users and no error
message.

There's lots of evidence for people using these options
in the wild (e.g. http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=394 )
and they're even documented, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q178058/

Patch sent,
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-August/043192.html

While that patch is probably ok for -nohome, 
it doesn't handle the other IE options.

Note that winebrowser/main.c handles this option, too.
But that doesn't help apps that invoke iexplore directly.

wine.inf itself specifies -nohome in a few places, too, as of this commit:
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commitdiff;h=fe07efb3dc37463c4288f7...
though that's sent to winebrowser, not iexplore.

This has been fixed by
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git?a=commit;h=9e0ece41a580f511e6e416cb248...
If there are any new frequently use command line options, we can open bugs for
those. We need to find the frequently used ie options and fix them. And also
wine's iexplore is not a replacement for IE
Hence closing this issue
