Description André Klapper 2012-02-07 13:09:22 UTC 
STEPS:
1. Open HTML page that includes a sip:// link in Epiphany 3.3.4.1:
     <html>
     <a href="sip://12345">SIP</a>
     </html>
2. Click on the link

ACTUAL OUTCOME IN 3.3.4.1:
Nothing happens. No output on terminal either.

ACTUAL OUTCOME IN 3.2.1:
   Oops! It was not possible to show this website
   The website at sip://12345 seems to be unavailable. The precise error was:
   URL cannot be shown


EXPECTED OUTCOME IN 3.3.4.1:
Something happens. At least an error message that no handler is installed. Bonus points for starting gnome-packagekit to let me install an application that can handle SIP. Or whatever.
Firefox 10 gives me an alert window at least that it cannot handle sip://.

We just fixed this for 3.3.5, unless I'm wrong.
