           Summary: winebrowser: when URL is passed as file://url with
                    anchor or query included it fails to open
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.51.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: jsmith at argotecinc.com


Launching a URL with winebrowser that is of type file:// that includes a query
or anchor at the end fails with this message:

Error showing url: The specified location is not supported

Launching the same URL with winebrowser using type http:// works.
Launching the same URL with winebrowser using type file:// without the query or
anchor works.

Tested under 0.9.51 and current git (wine-1.1.24-294-g9d71c13)

Example of how to reproduce:

Go to http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/introduction and save the page
(I saved it to Desktop/testing in this example)
Four tests - the final one shows the problem:

This works opening the Wine user guide introduction page:
$ wine winebrowser 'http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/introduction'

This works opening the Wine user guide introduction page:
$ wine winebrowser 'file:///c:/user/jsmith/Desktop/testing/Introduction.html'

This works opening the Wine user guide introduction page at section "1.1.2
Further Questions and Comments":
$ wine winebrowser
'http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/introduction#AEN11'

This doesn't open the Wine user guide introduction page at all (should open
section 1.1.2 same as above):
$ wine winebrowser
'file:///c:/user/jsmith/Desktop/testing/Introduction.html#AEN11'
Error showing url: The specified location is not supported
