Package: kde-runtime
Version: 4:4.8.4-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
(Ok, as usual bullshit - but I'll answer the questions):
* What led up to the situation?
I wanted to be able to click on "teleport" on the monitor
of one PC and then teleport in SL in the viewer running on
another PC.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I linked the sheme "secondlife:" to my second life viewer.
When clicking on a teleport link (ie on this page:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hippo%20Hollow/172/222/43 )
* What was the outcome of this action?
A pop-up appears saying that "secondlife:/172/222/43" is malformed.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I except to teleport (inside the SL viewer) to that location.
*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
Now the real info:
my browser (chrome) calls xdg-open which calls, kde-open (I run KDE)
with the URL:
"secondlife://Hippo%20Hollow/172/222/43"
open-kde calls 'bool ClientApp::kde_open(const KUrl& url, const QString& mimeType, bool allowExec)'
where the url is still "secondlife://Hippo%20Hollow/172/222/43"
(although I only managed to print it like that with:
QTextStream(stderr) << QUrl::toPercentEncoding(url.toEncoded(), ":/", "") << '\n';
It then creates a KRun, which only accepts a KUrl, derived from QUrl.
Upon exec() this somewhere calls QUrl::isValid(), which returns
false. My guess is that this is because it checks the host part of
the URL to be conforming a DNS name (which may not contain %20,
or spaces), or because the url at that moment contains a space
instead of a %20 and a space is not a legal character in an URL.
On top of that, if you try to PRINT a KUrl with a space in the
hostname, the whole hostname is omitted (this is certainly a bug,
too, but a separate one).
As the documentation of QUrl states that it conforms to
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt
Quoting Scott Lawrence, open source manage of Linden Lab:
"secondlife://Hippo%20Hollow/172/222/43" is a perfectly legal url.
The interpretation of the rest of a url is entirely dependent on the
scheme. It is widely believed but untrue that the domain part of the
url must be a dns name.
As we can find in RFC 3986:
URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]
hier-part = "//" authority path-abempty
authority = [ userinfo "@" ] host [ ":" port ]
host = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name
reg-name = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims )
pct-encoded = "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG
and Hippo%20Hollow is legal.
