gnome-terminal doesn't match nntp or file URLs.

[Ralph Corderoy]

gnome-terminal 2.10.0-0ubuntu doesn't match URLs with a scheme of `nntp'
or `file' making it tedious to open said links in a browser. I think
this is because

    $ grep 'define SCHEME' gnome-terminal-2.10.0/src/terminal-screen.c
    #define SCHEME "(news|telnet|nttp|file|https?|ftps?|webcal)"

`nttp' is probably meant to be `nntp' and `file' is omitted.

Thanks for your bug, what is the issue with "file"? I've forwarded it upstream:

Oops. You're right, `file' isn't missing from SCHEME's definition. The
problem is the regular expression that uses SCHEME.

    #define USERCHARS "-A-Za-z0-9"
    #define PASSCHARS "-A-Za-z0-9,?;.:/!%$^*&~\"#'"
    #define HOSTCHARS "-A-Za-z0-9"
    #define SCHEME "(news|telnet|nttp|file|https?|ftps?|webcal)"
    #define USER "[" USERCHARS "]+(:["PASSCHARS "]+)?"

      terminal_widget_match_add (screen->priv->term,
          "\\<(" SCHEME "://(" USER "@)?)[" HOSTCHARS ".]+(:[0-9]+)?"
          "(/[-A-Za-z0-9_$.+!*(),;:@&=?/~#%]*[^]'.}>) \t\r\n,\\\"])?\\>",
          FLAVOR_AS_IS);

It insists on there being one or more of [HOSTCHARS.] after the first
two slashes so it fails to match `file:///etc/passwd'. I don't know if
any other of the listed schemes can also have `///'.

OK, what's the convention? Do I continue to add to this bug knowing
that they'll read it, e.g. the above explanation?

I forward useful information to upstream, they came to the same conclusion
during the time to reply here

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

as a note you can directly use bugzilla.gnome.org for upstream bug too
