[Bug 1253703] Re: [regression] Webbrowser tries to open file:///usr/share/webbrowser-app/'URL' instead of the URL directly

 

Reading from command line is fine, the problem only happens when apps receive url's from the UriHandler qml component.
Those are quoted.

the exec line is: messaging-app message:///12345

Title:
  [regression] Webbrowser tries to open file:///usr/share/webbrowser-
  app/'URL' instead of the URL directly

Status in Upstart Application Launcher:
  In Progress
Status in “upstart-app-launch” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I notice this one while using Facebook webapp. It starts working fine,
  when I click on a link it opens the webbrowser as it should, but after
  a while when I click the link it goes to the webbbrowser window and
  fails trying to open "file:///usr/share/webbrowser-app/'URL'" instead.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) adb shell; su - phablet;
  2) upstart-app-launch webbrowser-app http://www.ubuntu.com
  Browser should open trying to load www.ubuntu.com.
  3) Run the same command again.
  Browser will open displaying error message:
  "Network Error
  It appears you are having trouble viewing: file:///usr/share/webbrowser-app/'http://www.ubuntu.com'.
  Ubuntu suggests you check your network settings and try refreshing the page."

  Currently using r27 with channel devel-proposed, read-only, in a Nexus
  4. This problem wasn't happening with only devel (r10).
