Document URL support
fonsp opened this issue · 7 comments
This package already supports opening URLs by simply passing a URL instead of a path
I know that xdg-open
(Linux) and open
(OS X) support URLs, but is this documented for cmd.exe
?
I checked it and it works 👍
I can't find any documentation (the docs for start
don't mention the feature) but there's this:
https://superuser.com/questions/36728/can-i-launch-urls-from-command-line-in-windows
I understand that empirically it works, but I am reluctant to suggest that the package guarantees it unless it is somehow documented, as we have no CI for Windows.
Isn't a CI test just another empirical clue?
I tried finding the relevant docs again but I don't know what to search for :(
For this package, CI and documentation complement each other. Ideally, documented behavior is checked with CI (that happens for Linux), but practically I am OK with either (which is what I do for OS X and Windows at the moment).
Makes sense, thanks!
