`mailto` links don't work

Open wongandj opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug Links with addresses starting with mailto: don't open in the mail client; instead nyxt attempts to open them and fails. This is an issue, as many places where mailto links are used (e.g. mailing list web interfaces) include parameters that otherwise can't be set in the UI of many email clients (e.g. "In-Reply-To" headers.) Precise recipe to reproduce the issue Enter the command xdg-open mailto:[email protected]. If properly configured, your mail client should open. Now, launch nyxt and click this link. Nyxt will fail to launch your mail client.

For website-specific issues: Can you reproduce this issue with Epiphany / GNOME Web (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Web)? N/A

That seems easy to fix. Just see how the javascript scheme is handled in buffer-load. Patches welcome.

buffer-load may only handle requests that we explicitly load, if the user clicks on the link, then it shall not work!
