The easiest way to do this is to use the browse-url package. 

,----[ C-h f browse-url-of-file RET ]
| browse-url-of-file is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `browse-url.el'.
| (browse-url-of-file &optional FILE)
| 
| Ask a WWW browser to display FILE.
| Display the current buffer's file if FILE is nil or if called
| interactively.  Turn the filename into a URL with function
| `browse-url-file-url'.  Pass the URL to a browser using the
| `browse-url' function then run `browse-url-of-file-hook'.
| 
| [back]

,----[ C-h f browse-url-of-dired-file RET ]
| browse-url-of-dired-file is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `browse-url.el'.
| (browse-url-of-dired-file)
| 
| In Dired, ask a WWW browser to display the file named on this line.
| 
| [back]

etc.
