Description of problem:
If I try to run gnome-open on an https location, it fails:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-vfs2-2.7.92-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type gnome-open https://bugzilla.redhat.com
    

Actual Results:  Error showing url: There was an error launching the
default action command associated with this location.


Expected Results:  Mozilla should open https://bugzilla.redhat.com

Additional info:

The only web browser installed is mozilla-1.7.2-0.3.0
Comment 1 Julien Olivier 2004-09-06 09:10:05 UTC 
And same thing for mailto: links, with evolution-1.5.94.1-1 as only
mailer installed.
Comment 2 Julien Olivier 2004-09-06 20:32:15 UTC 
After re-setting my prefered mailer from "evolution-1.6 %s" (which was
the mistaken default) to "evolution %s", I can open mailto: links.

And I manager to work-around the https: bug by doing:

ln -s /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/bin/epiphany

It seems that epiphany is configured as the default handler for https
locations, even though I've never installed it...
Comment 3 Zack Cerza 2004-09-24 16:42:56 UTC 
Things that are broken now in gconf://desktop/gnome/url-handlers :

about/command (stuck as epiphany)
https/command (stuck as epiphany)
mailto/command (stuck as evolution-1.6)
unknown/unknown (stuck as epiphany)
