Description Randy Yates 2009-05-15 13:17:28 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The url https://payxpress.timewarnercable.com/NC/Controller/Go?Event=WSC:DISPLAY_LOGON does not open properly under Nautilus when inside a .desktop file. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a .desktop file with the following contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=09 TWC
Type=Link
URL=https://payxpress.timewarnercable.com/NC/Controller/Go?Event=WSC:DISPLAY_LOGON
Icon=gnome-fs-bookmark

(Note: bugzilla forces false carriage returns in the above - remove them when entering into the .desktop file)

2. Open nautilus and navigate to the directory containing the desktop file above.

3. Double-click the desktop file (bookmark).


Actual results:
The URL that is sent to the browser is truncated to https://payxpress.timewarnercable.com/NC/Controller/Go

Expected results:
The URL would open correctly without truncating.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Using Mozilla/Firefox 3.0.10-1 under fedora 10

Comment 1 Randy Yates 2009-05-15 13:21:49 UTC 
Note also that I could not create this .desktop file by dragging the url from the Firefox url window into nautilus. Doing so yields the error 

  Error while copying.
  There was an error getting information about "Go".
   HTTP Error: Connection terminated unexpectedly.
Comment 2 Randy Yates 2009-05-15 13:23:00 UTC 
Regarding the previous comment, I had to manually edit the .desktop file to get the url discussed in this bug report into the URL= field.
Comment 3 A. Walton 2009-05-15 13:29:55 UTC 
What version of Nautilus are you running? Looks like bug 518481.
Comment 4 Randy Yates 2009-05-15 13:50:56 UTC 
Nautilus reports 2.24.2 in its Help/About dialog.
Comment 5 Randy Yates 2009-05-15 13:54:52 UTC 
Yes, bug 518481 looks the same. In that case, as here, gnome is also somewhere discarding everything past the parameter character "?" in the URL. 

I could not determine which version of Nautilus the bug is fixed in. Do you know?
Comment 6 A. Walton 2009-05-15 13:56:07 UTC 
As I thought. This has been fixed in 2.26.
