Issue ID: 20886
Summary: std.process.browse does not work with URLs 256
characters or longer
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86_64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: phobos
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Manjaro/Arch x86_64, dmd 2.092.0.
Supplying a long URL to std.process.browse seems to just make it execute
xdg-open without passing the URL as an argument. (The URL I want to open is 397
characters.)
import std;
void main()
{
immutable url = "http://"; ~ 'x'.repeat(249).array.idup;
assert(url.length == 256);
browse(url);
}
No browser window is opened, instead it outputs:
> xdg-open -- opens a file or URL in the user's preferred
> application
>
> Synopsis
>
> xdg-open { file | URL }
>
> xdg-open { --help | --manual | --version }
>
> Use 'man xdg-open' or 'xdg-open --manual' for additional info.
