             Bug #: 45857
           Summary: xdg-open fails to open web browser for file:/// urls
                    with a query string
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Portland
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW

        AssignedTo: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

If foo.html exists, then:

$ xdg-open foo.html

opens a web browser, but

$ xdg-open foo.html?a=b

gvfs-open:
file:///home/samth/tmp/time/racket-full-5.2.1.5/collects/typed-racket/foo.html%3Fa=b:
error opening location: Error stating file
'/home/samth/tmp/time/racket-full-5.2.1.5/collects/typed-racket/foo.html?a=b':
No such file or directory

Note that:

$ firefox foo.html?a=b

works correctly
