Matt Giuca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I was able to duplicate this, but it's an issue with Firefox, not Python. webbrowser.open(url) just passes url as a command line argument to the web browser; it doesn't do any manipulation.
Note that you get the exact same behaviour if you run Firefox from the command line: > firefox 'http://foo.com/bar.html?var=x|y|z' Opens this URL in a new tab if it's already open, but splits on '|' and opens in 3 separate tabs if Firefox isn't running. Note also that while this string is a URL, it isn't properly normalized. This works fine if you call webbrowser.open("http://foo.com/bar.html?var=x%7Cy%7Cz";) (Which you can only obtain programmatically by generating the URL properly in the first place, by using urllib.urlencode, or urllib.quote on the value string "x|y|z"). ---------- nosy: +mgiuca _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3330> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
