Package: mime-support
Version: 3.28-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

more and more utilities use URL notation to pass around file names,
hence it would be very useful to have run-mailcap understand URL and do one of
two things:
- handle file:/... URL as normal files.
- pass along other kinds of URL (http://, ftp://, etc...) to
  sensible-browser.
This could be possibly controlled by a switch (e.g. --allow-url) for security
reasons.

I know that writing a wrapper-script to do this is pretty easy, but as
it might be of general interest, I thought it better to be directly in
mime-support.

Thanks, Eric
