Hi Jean-Sebastien,

You could be right about the correct URL format but this is what I had
to change in order  to be able to use OpenVRML 0.14.3.  I believe some
time ago the consensus in the OSG community was to stick with OpenVRML 
0.14.3, since following releases depended on boost. I'm not sure if this
is still the way to go.  Do you know which version of OpenVRML fixes the
URL issue? I can probably use the openvrml::browser::version() string
to  workaround this bug.

Cheers,

Gino
