What were you trying to do?
load a URL into a running instance of Mozilla with:
mozilla -remote "openurl(http://web.mit.edu/acs/www/whereruns.html)"
What's wrong:
I get an error dialog with the message:
"The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded". No page appears.
When I try opening it as a file:
mozilla -remote "openurl(file:/afs/athena/org/a/acs/www/whereruns.html)"
mozilla -remote "openfile(file:/afs/athena/org/a/acs/www/whereruns.html)"
I get an error dialog:
"www.openurl(file.com could not be found, Please check the name and try
again"
What should have happened:
The obvious...
Please see http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html - this syntax is supposed to
work. Works fine on Mozilla on my laptop (RedHat 8, Mozilla 1.0.1)...
Alex
