Re: [Fwd: [Issue 19175] register for uri support in Gnome 2]

[Oliver Braun <Oliver Braun sun com>]

Hi *,

let me explain the issue more briefly:

1. RFC#1738 specifies the url as a concatination of cwd commands, meaning

ftp://john server/foo/bar.txt will actually (assuming /home/john as the 
login directory) result in /home/john/foo/bar.txt on the server.

gnome-vfs actually passes ftp://server/home/john/foo/bar.txt too 
external applications for the same file, which leads to an error message 
from OOo stating that the specified file does not exist, because there 
is no directory /home/john/home.

Actually ftp://server/%2Fhome%2Fjohn%2Ffoo/bar.txt would be o.k.

2. RFC#1738 also specifies that a missing user name is automatically 
treated as "anonymous". But even if the user has specified a user name 
in nautilus before, the url passed to external applications does not 
have this user name, leading to a login dialog with (non-editable) user 
name "anonymous".

All this happens regardless whether the application specifies 
"uses_gnomevfs" or "supported_uri_schemes=ftp,..".

Regards,
Oliver
