This I have only seen if I use IE
following code inside my .emacs solve this problem for me
(defun shell-execute-url (url &optional new-window)
"Invoke the shell-execute-helper program to call ShellExecute and launch
or re-direct a web browser on the specified url." (interactive "sURL: ")
(message (concat "shell-execute-url show url " url))
;; (call-process shell-execute-helper nil nil nil url))
;; now we replacs all / with \
;; (snipped from imenu.el imenu--replace-spaces maybe a faster solution
exist?)
;; because we can not handle / in IE
(setq url (mapconcat
(function
(lambda (ch)
(if (char-equal ch ?/ )
(char-to-string ?\\ )
(char-to-string ch))))
url
""))
;; end of / to \\ converter
(call-process shell-execute-helper nil nil nil url))
