I've found http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2008-June/009720.htmlthread where the discussion just stalled while everybody seemed to agree on adding a list of protocols. It was also briefly brought up in 2010: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2010-October/011661.html and continued in http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2010-November/011679.html + follow-ups. Opinions on that thread seem to be mixed. The important info I got from there is that on GNOME, XFCE, LXDE etc. all apps support any GIO-supported URLs, and that in GNOME's experience making the "viewer" apps download the data doesn't work. Is this a bug report? No. I assume I have something misconfigured, unless proven otherwise :) -- Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff
