[Gnash-commit] [bug #38244] Gnash uses a double-escaped URL to invoke xdg-open

[Nachanon Vetjasit]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #38244 (project gnash):

The root cause is in movie_root::getURL in libcore/movie_root.cpp


/// Try to avoid letting flash movies execute
/// arbitrary commands (sic)
///
/// Maybe we should exec here, but if we do we might have problems
/// with complex urlOpenerFormats like:
///    firefox -remote 'openurl(%u)'
///
std::string safeurl = url.encode(urlstr);
boost::replace_all(command, "%u", safeurl);

log_debug("Launching URL: %s", command);
const int ret = std::system(command.c_str());
