Launch WebUI does not open web browser on Windows 7 #65

Open machawk1 opened 10 years ago

machawk1 commented 10 years ago

If a browser window is already open, the system does not react. If no browser is open, an error from Internet Explorer that says "Cannot find 'https://lorem:ipsum@localhost:8443/'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct."

If Google Chrome (and I presume anything but IE) is the default browser on a Windows 7 system, #125 is produced but the user is routed correctly instead of iexplore saying that it cannot find the path/URI.

On Windows 10, the browser is launched (default:IE) but the URI and prefixed credentials are loaded. Testing a related form of this independently in Windows 10 (py 3.8) via:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open_new_tab('https://matkelly.com')

...causes IE to open the browser with the URI. Further testing will be needed to see if this is an issue of the prefixed creds or trying to open a localhost URI using the webbrowser module.

webbrowser.open_new_tab('https://localhost') works but prepending the credentials via webbrowser.open_new_tab('https://lorem:ipsum@localhost') causes IE to open its default homepage. Perhaps this is just an IE bug. Will need to test out in Edge and other default browsers.
