Subject: bug#18310: 24.3.93; relative links don't work in eww and Windows 7
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 11:33:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jjboaverv2b.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi maintainers,
On Windows 7:
emacs -Q
M-x eww RET
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/index.htm RET
Try to follow any of the relative links on the page, they point to
something strange like "www.lispworks.comz" (note the final "z") which
basically breaks all navigation.
The `shr-url' property at point shows
http://www.lispworks.comz:/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/StartPts.htm
And everything indicates this is a consequence of a previous bug fix of
mine for bug#17217 [1], which does not manifest itself in my Linux
box. I'm pretty sure it also did not manifest itself on my old Windows
XP box.
In that fix, I used the function `expand-file-name' in `shr-expand-url'
to compute the expanded URL for "totally relative" case of hrefs like
"../something".
This new bug seems to be caused by `expand-file-name' insisting on
producing a valid windows pathname (with drive letter), even though it
was passed the second argument DEFAULT-DIRECTORY.
That is, on my Windows 7 system:
(expand-file-name "../bla" "/something/else")
expands to
"z:/something/bla"
Whereas I intented it to expand to "/something/bla".
My HOME variable is set to at "z:", but unsetting it does not help
either. I don't have time right now to look at the C-code for
`expand-file-name'.
