w3m does not handle all valid file names

% touch a#a.html b?b.html c%20.html % w3m a#a.html b?b.html c%20.html w3m: Can't load a#a.html. w3m: Can't load b?b.html. w3m: Can't load c%20.html.

% w3m file://$PWD/c%20.html w3m: Can't load file:///tmp/tmp.VPiZ2er7xp/c%20.html.

Note, that it also fails with other names that contain percent-encoded chars.

JFTR, one way to get it to work:

Go to 'Option Setting Panel' -> 'Network Settings', set 'Treat argument without scheme as URL' to 'NO'.

Caveat:

  • 'w3m debian.org' doesn't work any more. You need to use
  • 'w3m https://debian.org' works.

I still consider this a bug.
