Bug 138517 – mozilla-launcher can't open some urls

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Thomas Lindroth 2006-06-29 12:18:48 UTC]

When I run:
firefox "http://www.musicbrainz.org/taglookup.html?artist=%C3%A6%C2%B5%C2%9C%C3%A5%C2%B4%C2%8E%C3%A3%C2%81%C2%82%C3%A3%C2%82%C2%86%C3%A3%C2%81%C2%BF&album=SUPER%20EUROBEAT%20presents%20ayu-ro%20mix&track=Whatever%20(Sentimental%20mix)"
I get:
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to send command: 500 command not parseable
Browser doesn't understand command

But when I bypass mozilla-launcher and run:
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin "http://www.musicbrainz.org/taglookup.html?artist=%C3%A6%C2%B5%C2%9C%C3%A5%C2%B4%C2%8E%C3%A3%C2%81%C2%82%C3%A3%C2%82%C2%86%C3%A3%C2%81%C2%BF&album=SUPER%20EUROBEAT%20presents%20ayu-ro%20mix&track=Whatever%20(Sentimental%20mix)"
The url gets opened.

I'm running www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4  USE="gnome java xinerama xprint -debug -ipv6 -mozdevelop"

Please, don't restrict bugs without any reason.

I can confirm that. I locate, that problem is '(' and ')'. If I delete part with this, then firefox opens url without problem.

Is this problem URL or is bug firefox?

I look at RFC and ( or ) is not valid symbols in URL. So this URL isn`t valid and firefox needn`t corectly interpret this adress.

Broken URL, closing.
