testcase

When trying to open following URL:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scantailor/files%2Fscantailor-devel%2Fplus%2F0.9.11pre-2011-11-30%2FREADME/download
by g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri() function, URL is not opened:

** (process:3932): WARNING **: Could not launch default application for URI: Operation not supported

URL open just fine when pasted into Firefox.

Compile testcase by: gcc launch.c `pkg-config gio-2.0 --cflags --libs`
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2011-12-06 12:37:29 UTC 
'paste into firefox' is not a very strong test for url validity...
Comment 2 Jan Horak 2011-12-06 12:45:44 UTC 
Okay, so what is? Wget? Midori? Google chrome? It simply opens in every browser I tried. So there's no reason to not get over g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri IMO.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2011-12-07 04:08:21 UTC 
The reason for the failure here is in gvfs, client/gvfsuriutils.c:g_vfs_decode_uri
refuses to accept uris which contain %-encoded slashes.
Comment 4 Tomas Bzatek 2012-06-22 12:42:31 UTC 
This has been fixed by transition to g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri() in bug 676313.
