Created attachment 55700 [details] [review] Patch that enables xdg-open to handle non-file URIs xdg-open currently ignores any URIs passed to it that are not paths to local files (file://). There is already an established method for finding the MIME type of such URIs, namely "x-scheme-handler/$scheme" where $scheme is the scheme of the URI. Attached is a patch that makes xdg-open handle URIs with any scheme by constructing the MIME type string as above, and then calling xdg-mime query default to find an application that can handle the given URI. Cheers, Jon Gjengset

Never mind, I see that this has been fixed in: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/commit/?id=8c2615d3e470790eeb153ac520b22c21c189be77 and http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/commit/?id=5010c394ca7dd443cefd63b764687f98c2353577 When can we expect a release containing these changes?
