You see: no in argument to execve, just the string openurl
Strange, isn't it ?
Running directly with firefox-bin should work properly, and it does work
properly on my system (both lenny and squeeze tested).
Are you sure the strace command above does trigger the bug ?
Yes. This is still an issue. I've Iceweasel 3.0.6-3.
What version of xulrunner-1.9 ?
ii xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.15-0lenn XUL + XPCOM application runner

Do you want the log file ?
yes please, and the exact command line.
Exactly the same as in the email above.
Reading the log, you are wrong ;)
You are running /usr/lib/iceweasel/iceweasel-xremote-client -remote
openurl...
Except iceweasel-xremote-client doesn't take a -remote argument.

Hello,
Michel Briand a écrit :
[...]
Error: Failed to send command: 500 command not parseable
[debug of a script]
...
+ /usr/bin/iceweasel -remote openurl(http://www.debian.org/,new-window)

On my system (with iceweasel 3.5-1), this:
iceweasel -remote 'openurl(http://www.debian.org/,new-window)'
works perfectly, whereas this:
iceweasel -remote 'openurl(http://www.debian.org/,new-window)'
or any other attempt to quote a substring in the openurl call fails with
the error you mention.
How exactly do you call iceweasel? I mean, what do you type in the shell
prompt? (before it does any expansion)
Cheers,
Stéphane,
I've read the bug #289745:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=289745
There is already a discussion here about arguments. So I tried to
conform to conclusions expressed there :).
Since it's necessary to escape the () because of the shell, but the
browser won't accept arguments with , this is tricky.
I've used strace to investigate this, to trace my shell script that
used to work (that because it used to work for year that I posted to
reopen the bug) :
$ strace -s 128 -o totolog2 -f sh -c /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin -remote
