<pre>This is not really xdg-open's fault. For example, I believe it works in KDE (as
per <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED FIXED - xdg-open does not honor anchors in file URLs"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=7863">bug #7863</a>); but it doesn't work in GNOME, because gvfs-open doesn't support
it.
xdg-open should (as usual) paper over the cracks here, by detecting queries
(and anchors) in file: URLs, and improving open_generic to open them with a
browser. This can be achieved by improving is_file_url_or_path to be, as it
were, is_plain_file_url_or_path.
This bug prevents xdg-open being used in some places, e.g. as Racket's launcher
(www.racket-lang.org).</pre>
