Comment 1 Nicel KM 2003-11-12 05:42:51 UTC
Attached patch adds the https settings to Web Browser tab. This lets
the  user to configure a custom browser for https also (not
necessarily same as http browser).
The required changes are made in gnome-default-applications-properties.c
and the gui changes are made with glade-2 in
gnome-default-applications-properties.glade

Comment 3 André Dahlqvist 2003-11-23 03:12:01 UTC
I find it very unlikely that a normal user would want to use a
different browser for secure links than for regular ones. Can't we
just set the same browser for http and https when people use the
"Preferred Applications" interface, and let advanced users change
fine-tune it though "File Types and Programs"?
Comment 4 Nicel KM 2003-11-24 10:36:18 UTC
Yeah, it's rare that a normal user would want to have seperate 
browsers for secured and non-secured sites. But as pointed out in the 
original defect in redhat bugzilla #105740, felt it's more convenient 
to have a provision to set the custom browser for https also using 
Prefered Applications. As the patch allows to configure the https 
browser in Web Browser tab itself along with the default browser, 
guess the usability/intuitiveness is not compromised.
Comment 5 W. Michael Petullo 2004-03-16 00:38:24 UTC
I think the preferred browser should also handle "unknown" urls.  In
addition to GConf's /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http and
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/https, the preferred browser setting
should be applied to /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/default (right now it
falls back on mozilla on my system even though I want to use epiphany).

*** Bug 142486 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 7 W. Michael Petullo 2004-07-17 04:37:50 UTC
This seems fixed in control-center-2.6.1 as setting the "Web Browser" in
"Preferred Applications" sets the http, https and unknown URL handlers.  Could
someone confirm this and mark this bug as fixed?
Comment 8 Sebastien Bacher 2004-07-20 13:52:50 UTC
Still an issue here with 2.6.1, I'm updating the version 2.4 -> 2.6

This is the patch that Red Hat is using to address this bug.

Red Hat ships a control-center-2.6.1 package that contains this patch.	It
seems to resolve this RFE.

The risk here seems small and the benefits large.  Lets get this in for 2.8.1
Comment 12 Kjartan Maraas 2004-10-14 08:21:14 UTC
I agree. Will you commit it Sebastien?
