Description Marius Gedminas 2018-01-29 21:15:22 UTC 
transmission-remote-gtk installs a .desktop file with MimeType=...;x-scheme-handler/magnet;

If you run gio open 'magnet:?xt=....', it will execute transmission-remote-gtk magnet:///?xt=.....

Note how magnet: was rewritten to magnet:///.

Transmission does expect magnet URLs with extra slashes.  End-user visible behavior is that they click on a magnet URL in their browser and get an error:
https://github.com/transmission-remote-gtk/transmission-remote-gtk/issues/59.

I do not think gio is right to rewrite URLs this way.

Thank you for your report. It should be already fixed in 2.54.3 stable version and 2.55.0 development version. Please reopen if you see this even with those versions.

Are you sure that's the right bug?  The patch for it touches only code inside gio/win32/, and the bug I'm seeing happens on Linu

I'm sorry, I got lost between my browser tabs and mixed up bug numbers.  It was a mistake to start reading mail before morning coffee.
