GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 602968
get_default_for_uri_scheme() is not implemented
Last modified: 2010-07-10 10:44:10 UTC
On Windows, the function g_app_info_get_default_for_uri_scheme() is not implemented: the existing function (found in gio/gwin32appinfo.c) simply returns NULL. One consequence of this is that GLib can't find the application which the user has chosen to handle HTTP URIs, i.e. the user's default Web browser. And so gtk_show_uri() is broken on Windows as a result.
