Sometimes it just puts a single quote (') at the beginning, and sometimes it
puts the single quote at both the beginning and the ending
I just got the URL
http://spooge.kittenz.pdx.edu/mail.txt
in my email, for example, and that was passed to mozilla by klipper as
'http://spooge.kittenz.pdx.edu/mail.txt'
It was still passed to konqueror okay, though
Hmm, and the URL http://www.stahl.bau.tu-bs.de/~hildeb/postfix/client.shtml got passed by klipper to mozilla as 'http://www.stahl.bau.tu-bs.de/~hildeb/postfix/client.shtml' maybe it's always putting a single quote at both ends, and I just didn't notice the ending one before.... it's fixed in kdebase-3.1.1-9 or later. if you want to have a quick fix, please change the line in /usr/share/config/klipperrc ps x |grep -q '[m]ozilla' && mozilla -remote "openURL(%s, new-window)" || mozilla %s to ps x |grep -q '[m]ozilla' && mozilla -remote "openURL(`echo %s`, new-window)" || mozilla %s please make sure that you should restart klipper! |
This is on a fresh install of RHL 9 gold (kdebase-3.1-12) klipper cannot open URLs with mozilla. Attempting to do so always results in the Mozilla error "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded". Clicking OK then displays a second Mozilla error, that "www.'.com" cannot be found. This is because the URL klipper passes to Mozilla has a single quote (') inserted at the beginning of it (in other words, highlighting http://www.google.com gets passed by klipper to Mozilla as the URL 'http://www.google.com) This bug is specific to klipper and Mozilla; passing URLs via klipper to konqueror is not broken This bug makes klipper unusable for those of us who use Mozilla as our web browser
