Public bug reported: Using up-to-date feisty.I am not sure if this is either a bug, regression or removed feature. I am also not sure whether this is a nautilus, gnome-vfs or service-discovery-applet problem. I only discovered this when using service-discovery-applet on my laptop to open web sites published on my home server. Clicking on the Zeroconf published web site from the service-discovery-applet brings up this message:
"Couldn't display http://www.recovermypc.co.uk:80/. The location is not a folder." I am almost certain that this function worked perfectly in edgy and that when you clicked on the website in the discovery applet it opened the page in a new tab in firefox. Other services advertised by the Zeroconf service applet work fine, eg. ssh, vnc etc. I get the impression that nautilus should be able to handle http:// URIs I have checked that libgnomevfs2-extra is installed which supplies the libhttp.so module. Also, examining the nautilus service-discovery-applet plugin in /usr/share/service-discovery-applet/plugins/nautilus.py shows that nautilus should be able to open http, https, ftp, ftps, sftp, dav and davs URIs. Opening a nautilus window, pressing <Ctrl> + L to open a location and typing http://www.domainname.co.uk also brings up the same error about the location not being a folder. The same happens if I run nautilus in a terminal window and also if I use 'File'->'Connect to Server' and then select a custom location (HTTP is not listed). As a quick fix I changed /usr/share/service-discovery-applet/nautilus.py to run gnome-open instead of nautilus which works for _http._tcp Zeroconf connections but I have no idea if it works for the other protocols listed in the nautilus.py file. Apologies if this bug is filed under the wrong package..... ** Affects: gnome-vfs2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- nautilus in feisty can't open http:// URI which affects service-discovery-applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113092 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-vfs2 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
