I've got a problem opening some URLs using xdg-open on Leap 42.1. LXDE desktop.
If I use xdg-open to try to open for example:
xdg-open http://www.example.com/search.cgi?fred=wilma&barney=betty
Then xdg-open rewrites the URL and asks firefox to open instead:
xdg-open "http://www.example.com/search.cgi?fred=wilma&barney=betty" works here. Perhaps you didn't quote the string?
Thanks for trying. If you don't quote the URL then the ampersand is part of shell syntax and the URL is truncated at wilma (don't ask me how I know this). I used single quotes but I don't think that accounts for my problem. Are you running Leap and LXDE? Nobody understands xdg-open? I know it's only a shell script but I hate debugging shell scripts, especially undocumented ones.
