Title:
  xdg-open (to gnome-open) fails to launch file:// URL with query string

Status in Xdg-utils:
  Fix Released
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xdg-utils

  Attempting to launch a file URL with a query string attached fails
  using xdg-open (calls gnome-open on my system).  I can successfully
  launch with an anchor tag but not query string. If you try to launch
  directly with firefox it is successful.

  Ubuntu 9.04 w/Gnome
  libgnome2-0:
    Installed: 2.26.0-0ubuntu2
  xdg-utils:
    Installed: 1.0.2-6.1

  Examples:

  Fails:
  $ xdg-open
  'file:///home/jsmith/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/jsmith/Desktop/Server/fpweb/index.htm?dirname=CPA&pagename=add.htm'
  Error showing url: Error stating file
  '/home/jsmith/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/jsmith/Desktop/Server/fpweb/index.htm?dirname=CPA&pagename=add.htm':
  No such file or directory

  $ gnome-open
  'file:///home/jsmith/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/jsmith/Desktop/Server/fpweb/index.htm?dirname=CPA&pagename=add.htm'
  Error showing url: Error stating file
  '/home/jsmith/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/jsmith/Desktop/Server/fpweb/index.htm?dirname=CPA&pagename=add.htm':
  No such file or directory

  Works:
  $ xdg-open
  'file:///home/jsmith/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/jsmith/Desktop/Server/fpweb/index.htm'

  $ gnome-open
  'file:///home/jsmith/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/jsmith/Desktop/Server/fpweb/index.htm'

  $ gnome-open
  'file:///home/jsmith/Desktop/test/introduction.html#AEN11'

  $ firefox
  'file:///home/jsmith/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/jsmith/Desktop/Server/fpweb/index.htm?dirname=CPA&pagename=add.htm'
