New submission from Adrian Petrescu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The webbrowser module seems to treat URLs containing the "|" character differently based on whether the browser is already running or not.
For instance, consider the following python script: import webbrowser url = "http://foo.com/bar.html?var=x|y|z" webbrowser.open(url) If you run this script while the browser is already running (so that webbrowser.open creates a new tab) this behaves as you would expect, with the given URL as an address. However, if a browser is not already running, when webbrowser.open creates it, it seems to interpret the "|" as a seperator character, so that the browser will open with THREE tabs, one open to "http://foo.com/bar.html?var=x";, one to "http://y"; and one to "http://z";. This is clearly a bug, webbrowser module should be smart enough to escape the "|" character if the browser is interpreting that line differently. This happens in Linux with Python 2.5 and Firefox 3.0. Not sure if it happens with anything else. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 69488 nosy: AdrianP severity: normal status: open title: webbrowser module doesn't correctly handle '|' character. type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3330> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
