Thanks for the advice! Your script did work from the command line, but
it was not enough when called from extract_url.pl.
Anyway, I believe that the fix is as simple as adding %s to the COMMAND
COMMAND /etc/urlview/url_handler.sh %s
(as suggested by Kyle) without touching anything else. I thought I had
attempted that before, but I guess now that I made some mistake (as
also suggested by Kyle). I still don't understand why %s fixes the
problem, though. Thanks everybody.
Best regards,
Luis
