ox-latex doesn't handle doi: links right

[Vladimir Alexiev]

A link like doi:10.1109/ICMEW.2015.7169818 is resolved in org to 
http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICMEW.2015.7169818.
(I mean that if I click to the link, I go to that URL)

However, ox-latex makes merely this:
   \url{10.1109/ICMEW.2015.7169818} 
which Acrobat tries to resolve as a local file.
Instead, ox-latex should make this:
   \href{http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICMEW.2015.7169818}
{doi:10.1109/ICMEW.2015.7169818}

On my system, the default handling for doi: links is

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 ("doi" nil
  (lambda
    (path desc format)
    (cond
     ((eq format 'latex)
      (format "\\doi{%s}" path)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It is then a case of defining the LaTeX \doi function to do what you
want?  Probably simply add

#+latex_header: \usepackage{doi}

to your org file to get what you want.
