Hi everyone, thank you for your input. Matt, thanks a lot for the detailed
look into this. Indeed there are inconsistencies on how this works in Org,
and there are things happening that are system dependent. I thibk what is
biting me this time is the system dependence which is really weird.
When I, on my Mac, call this from a commandline in bash
$ open
https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#search/q=author%3A%22Dominik%2CC%22/metrics
things work. So I made a little perl program, myopenurl, that looks like
this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$url = join(" ",@ARGV);
system "open \"$url\";
and that does the trick when I put it into browse-url-generic-program.
Fixed for now, but I think the entire url quoting scheme in Org might
deserve another look.
Thanks.
Carsten
