Hi,
(You are listed under "mit.edu/teamhtml/Athena/people.html" as
doing "Athena bug fixing and reviewing", and your username is mentioned in
the htmlview script. If you are not responsible, could you please
forward this message ?)
I used htmlview (indirectly through Pine) to view:
http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2614854,00.html
And I had an open Navigator window, which generated an error and
refused to open the URL.
After some thinking, I came to the following patch to htmlview,
which allows for commas in URLs:
83c83,84
< /usr/athena/bin/netscape -remote "OpenUrl($url)" && exit 0
- ---
> # Netscape complains on commas, e.g. zdnet URLs.
> /usr/athena/bin/netscape -remote `echo "OpenUrl($url)" | sed
's/,/%2C/g'` && exit 0
(the last line is a single line, sorry).
It worked for me, please let me know if you found it useful.
Emilio.
