Summary: firefox 3 can't handle local paths in location window
[dogfood]
Product: Wine
Version: CVS/GIT
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Keywords: download, Installer
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com
Today I tried to install Acrobat Reader,
and for some reason it decided to use the
download manager rather than a direct download.
The download was interrupted (that's another story),
and the download manager left a handy link on the
desktop to resume the download. The launcher contained:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/dank/.wine-firefox" wine "C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\firefox.exe" C:\windows\temp\nosget_start_manager.html
That's not going to fly for several reasons:
1) the backslashes aren't quoted or escaped (but that's a different bug)
2) Firefox 3 on Wine doesn't seem to recognize
local paths as valid URLs; typing
c:\foo.txt
into the location window yields errors like
Firefox can't find the file at /c:/foo.txt.
Firefox 2 doesn't seem to have this trouble.
(I have not verified that Firefox 3 can handle c:\foo.txt
on Windows, but I'll eat a box of doughnuts if it can't.)
