--- Comment #2 from vikt...@bale.cz --- I see your point. Unfortunately I am not the author of the problematic application, merely a user. The application is the client of the Czech national ID authority for citizens to authorise themselves when using eGovernment services. I will try to inform them. However we're talking public sector here, I'm not holding my breath (though they may surprise). However, I would also opine that with a custom scheme handler application, it should be up to the client application itself to determine the validity of the URI after the scheme:// part. Yes, this application doesn't conform to the RFC, but an alternative viewpoint is the kde-open/kioclient shouldn't care after it has determined that the (invalid) URI is handled by a special application. Just pass the URI to the application and let that worry about it. For information, this problem makes the Czech eGovernment application unusable for Chromium based browsers (i.e. all the main ones except Firefox) which use xdg-open to handle custom schemes. Workaround is to use Firefox of course (which uses it's own built is custom scheme handling which works fine despite the invalid URI) or hack xdg-open to call its open_generic function (also works fine) instead of open_kde when it recognises we're in KDE. Neither workaround is very satisfactory. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
