 Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 9:42 pm Post subject: Opera does not recognize URLs passed to it by AuctionSieve |
 |
|
Hi, I'm having the following problem:
When I click on a View link in AuctionSieve, I get an Error! Invalid URL Error which says, for example, | Quote: | | The URL http://"http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335846438&toolid=10001&customid=AuctionSieve1.9.0&ext=200223324160&item=200223324160" contains characters that are not valid in the location they are found. |
The corresponding output (when running Opera from the commandline) is | Code: | xxx@tom-desktop:~$ java -DBROWSER="opera -backgroundpage" -Xmx512m -jar /usr/local/jar/AuctionSieve/auctionsieve.jar
browser = opera -backgroundpage
Trying opera -backgroundpage "http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335846438&toolid=10001&customid=AuctionSieve1.9.0&ext=200223324160&item=200223324160"
|
How can I fix this? I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and Opera 9.27. |

| Further: http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/797/ may show why Opera is doing this (it will not allow the use of certain characters said to be phishy, like exclamation marks), and the address bar when Opera gives this error shows "opera:illegal-url". |

Hi motmot,
Do any of the new beta version help fix this problem?
Also, try putting a %s in there. ie
java -DBROWSER="opera -backgroundpage %s" -Xmx512m -jar /usr/local/jar/AuctionSieve/auctionsieve.jar |

Thanks, your second solution worked: | Code: | | java -Xmx512m -jar -DBROWSER="firefox %s" /usr/local/jar/AuctionSieve/auctionsieve.jar |
means Firefox plays nicely with 1.9.1. |

This is really weird. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04. When I run AuctionSieve from the commandline using the above command, when I click 'view' I get | Code: | browser = firefox %s
Trying firefox http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335846438&toolid=10001&customid=AuctionSieve1.9.1&ext=310059890415&item=310059890415 |
appearing in the terminal, and everything works fine.
When I create a Launcher icon which runs the same command and click on it to run AuctionSieve, when I click 'view' I get | Code: | browser = firefox s
Trying firefox s "http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335846438&toolid=10001&customid=AuctionSieve1.9.1&ext=180255426326&item=180255426326"
|
appearing in the terminal, and Firefox tries to open two windows, one of them with the address "s" and one of them with the address "file:///home/tom/%22http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335846438&toolid=10001&customid=AuctionSieve1.9.1&ext=180255426326&item=180255426326%22".
Which obviously doesn't work. Any ideas on what's happening? I'm going to try posting this on the Ubuntu forums as well. |

It looks like the percent sign probably needs to be escaped.
Try putting a \ in front of it.
Ie
java -Xmx512m -jar -DBROWSER="firefox \%s" /usr/local/jar/AuctionSieve/auctionsieve.jar |

Sorry to take so long to reply - I've been away on holiday.
I'm afraid that doesn't fix the problem. After changing the Launcher's properties so that DBROWSER = "firefox \%s", I get the following appearing in the terminal: | Code: | browser = firefox \%s
Trying firefox \http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335846438&toolid=10001&customid=AuctionSieve1.9.1&ext=160260036602&item=160260036602
|
and this appearing in the browser's address bar: | Code: | | file:///home/tom/\http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5335846438&toolid=10001&customid=AuctionSieve1.9.1&ext=160260036602&item=160260036602 |
No-one's left a reply to my post on this problem in the Ubuntu forums. |

Ok, something else to try. Go to
Tools->Options...->Browser Tab
and turn on
Force creation of new browser window when clicking View
(and get rid of the \ in front of the %s)

Sorry: when I do that, this appears in the terminal | Code: | browser = firefox s
Trying firefox s "file:////home/tom/tmp/view01.html" |
and a new browser window is created, one window showing "s" in the location bar, and the other "file:///home/tom/%22file:////home/tom/tmp/view01.html%22"
I'm now running the following very simple bash script from the folder where AuctionSieve is installed, and everything works fine when I do that. | Code: | #!/bin/bash
# Run AuctionSieve
java -Xmx512m -jar -DBROWSER="firefox %s" /usr/local/jar/AuctionSieve/auctionsieve.jar |
I should add that this hasn't stopped me using AuctionSieve a good deal, and finding it very useful! |
