GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 623898
gio is too dumb on win32 to handle gtk_show_uri
Last modified: 2010-07-10 10:46:24 UTC
gio needs to handle URIs. Also, winhttpvfs needs to build on _g_dummy_file_new (and not glocalvfs) for URIs for non-http URIs. Right now it treats "irc://irc.gnome.org/gnumeric" as a relative path. Fairly small patch: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnumeric/plain/tools/win32/patches/glib-appinfo.patch
On further thought, the gwinhttpvfs.c part of this patch might be a little bit too simple: we probably do want "file://" URIs to be forwarded to glocalvfs. I will update the patch, but it'll be a few weeks.
Marking as a duplicate of an older and more active bug. Morten, could you re-submit your patch there? Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 617874 ***
