Subject: bug#2543: w32-shell-execute removes target from local URLs
Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 20:55:15 +0000 (GMT)

The (Windows) function w32-shell-execute strips anchors from URLs to
local files. For instance, given that the file C:/index.html exists, executing

    (w32-shell-execute "open" "file:///C:/index.html#test")

opens file:///C:/index.html, without #test.

Note, however, that the function has no problem with external URLs;
e.g.,

    (w32-shell-execute "open" "http://www.example.org/index.html#test")

opens http://www.example.org/index.html#test, with the anchor included.
