Created attachment 5188 error box happening when opening URL containing single quote with exo-open (this is with exo 0.10.2 on Mageia 3) when I run, for example : exo-open "https://www.dropbox.com/s/5g244i0xieg5xus/2013-10-08 CR réunion d'organisation Patrick Frédéric Denis (DP).pdf", with firefox set as default web browser, I get the error box shown in attached screenshot, while, if I run the same command with any other URL not containing single quote, it opens properly in firefox. So, there seems to be something wrong with exo-open single quote management. Regards, Denis
Please test this again with the current git master. I tried accessing the link you provided and the URL was valid in the browser (but link no longer available).
The following still fails when executed from the command line: exo-open "https://www.dropbox.com/s/5g244i0xieg5xus/2013-10-08 CR réunion d'organisation Patrick Frédéric Denis (DP).pdf" Failed to execute default Web Browser. Text ended before matching quote was found for '. (The text was '/usr/bin/firefox https://www.dropbox.com/s/5g244i0xieg5xus/2013-10-08 CR réunion d'organisation Patrick Frédéric Denis (DP).pdf'). So the bug is still valid. It seems exo can't deal with space characters. If you escape the ' with \', then it will open several browser windows, depending on how many spaces there are in the link.
can this be a bug in compilation-settings of firefox itself? i becomes this as errors with firefox as prefered Webbrowser in settings: [guest@localhost ~]$ exo-open "https://www.dropbox.com/s/5g244i0xieg5xus/2013-10-08 CR réunion d'organisation Patrick Frédéric Denis (DP).pdf" [guest@localhost ~]$ (process:8699): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed Error: Failed to send command: 500 command not parseable [guest@localhost ~]$ and nothings go on, but with opera as prefered webbrowser becomes: [guest@localhost ~]$ exo-open "https://www.dropbox.com/s/5g244i0xieg5xus/2013-10-08 CR réunion d'organisation Patrick Frédéric Denis (DP).pdf" [guest@localhost ~]$ libGL error: open uki failed (Operation not permitted) libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering [guest@localhost ~]$ and he open all normal
the same results in exo-open --launch WebBrowser with firefox nothings with opera all ok and also the same warrnings as above
Created attachment 6275 exo-open with exo 0.10.4 in Xubuntu 15.04 The link opens fully in Firefox with Xubuntu 15.04, Xfce 4.12, exo 0.10.4
I see this problem even with 0.10.7.
I think this is a generic problem with gvfs, since the same thing happens when using gvfs-open instead of exo-open.
