Open url containing parameters

[BGragg]

I am adding a link in a pdf document of the form: file:///c:/myfile.htm?x=20&y=30

The issue is the web page opened does not contain the parameters. In other words, it opens "file:///c:/myfile.htm" which isn't correct.

Is there any way around this issue?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your report. Problem reproduced and will be fixed in the next build of the viewer.

For now, as I see, problem is only with file:// protocol, and looks like it is problem in Windows' Shell - we pass complete URL to ShellExecute function.

Thank you for figuring that out. Knowing that, I was able to get around it as follows:

Instead of opening a web page, I open a file:
File: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Parameters: -new-tab "file:///c:/myfile.htm?x=20&y=30"

This now works. Not as easy, but it's a usable work around. Thanks for the help.

I had 'fixed' this issue right now -- starting from build 2.0.52.0 (should be available on Friday or on Monday) such URLs will be handled well (similar technique used - instead of using simple ShellExecute, I'm looking for associated application if file:// is used, and pass url as argument).

Thank you for your prompt support!
