Bug 340379 – x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.0.2_p20100618: xdg-open fails to open file:// URLs with non-latin symbols

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Vladimir 2010-10-10 18:28:47 UTC]

Implement URL decoding for non-latin symbols in file:// URLs

Attempt to open file:// URL with non-latin symbols in it leads
to failure, because no decoding happens for URL. The script
tests if file exists and gets false result, because it attempts to
find a name with stuff file this '%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B' in name.

Appropirate place in script is marked as 'TODO'.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a file with non-latin name
2.Navigate to some folder with non-latin names in firefox and 'Copy link location' for such file
3.Try to run 'xdg-open <obtained_url>'
file fails to open

For example:
 xdg-open "file:///home/vl/.local/share/data/mentat/EGRP/data/03.%20%D0%9E%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0%20%D1%81%20%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD.%20%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B3/3.%20%D0%9E%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%20%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%20%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B3%D1%83%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F%20%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%20%D0%B2%D1%8B%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%20%D0%B7%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B0%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0.pdf"

Actual Results:  
xdg-open: file '/home/vl/.local/share/data/mentat/EGRP/data/03.\x20\xD0\x9E\xD1\x81\xD0\xBD\xD0\xBE\xD0\xB2\xD1\x8B\x20\xD0\xBF\xD1\x80\xD0\xB8\xD0\xB2\xD0\xBE\xD0\xB4\xD0\xB0\x20\xD1\x81\x20\xD0\xB4\xD1\x80\xD0\xBE\xD1\x81\xD1\x81\xD0\xB5\xD0\xBB\xD1\x8C\xD0\xBD.\x20\xD1\x80\xD0\xB5\xD0\xB3/3.\x20\xD0\x9E\xD1\x81\xD0\xBD\xD0\xBE\xD0\xB2\xD1\x8B\x20\xD0\xB4\xD1\x80\xD0\xBE\xD1\x81\xD1\x81\xD0\xB5\xD0\xBB\xD1\x8C\xD0\xBD\xD0\xBE\xD0\xBE\xD0\xB3\xD0\xBE\x20\xD1\x80\xD0\xB5\xD0\xB3\xD1\x83\xD0\xBB\xD0\xB8\xD1\x80\xD0\xBE\xD0\xB2\xD0\xB0\xD0\xBD\xD0\xB8\xD1\x8F\x20\xD1\x81\xD0\xBA\xD0\xBE\xD1\x80\xD0\xBE\xD1\x81\xD1\x82\xD0\xB8\x20\xD0\xB2\xD1\x8B\xD1\x85\xD0\xBE\xD0\xB4\xD0\xBD\xD0\xBE\xD0\xB3\xD0\xBE\x20\xD0\xB7\xD0\xB2\xD0\xB5\xD0\xBD\xD0\xB0\x20\xD0\xBF\xD1\x80\xD0\xB8\xD0\xB2\xD0\xBE\xD0\xB4\xD0\xB0.pdf' does not exist

Created attachment 250137 [details, diff]
 Implement URL decoding for non-latin symbols in file:// URLs

[Comment 2 Vladimir 2010-10-10 18:32:41 UTC]

The bug is reported upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30757

Can gentoo adopt the changes if upstream will not respond (quickly) ?

[Comment 3 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2011-02-05 09:20:51 UTC]

I guess this is still valid for 1.1.0_rc1 ?

It looks like they've fixed it: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/commit/?id=25af23cb3edf9accde30a5aae36fd6579445bd99

I've copied xdg-open script from 1.1.0_rc1 into my system and URLs are now opened correctly.
