| Hi all, been trying to get OpenURL to work with AmiPad and Simplemail but doesn't fully work!
I have tried to get working with following settings within OpenURL Prefs:
Name: MUIOWB
Path: OS4.1:Internet/muiowb/owb
ARexx port: OWB.1
Show: SHOW
To front: SCREENTOFRONT
Open URL: OPEN NAME "%u" NEWPAGE
New window: OPENURL "%u"
MUIOWB launches but does not go to website!
Are these setting correct, I have the same issue with AmiPad and Simplmail and clicking on a URL link within a mail and trying to get MUIOWB to show link?
Is there something I have set wrong? Last edited by sicky on 21-Jul-2012 at 06:06 PM.

Mine - space after path then "%u"
Quote:
| Open URL: OPEN NAME "%u" NEWPAGE |
Mine without "NEWPAGE"

Mine - no entry

From the docs:
Quote:
The ARexx portname should be set to "BROWSER" even for
browsers that call their ports "BROWSER.1", "BROWSER.2", etc.
The library will look for any port named "BROWSER.x" where
"x" is a number and ".x" is optional. |
Dunno if this will work for you, since my setup is different.

After applying your settings it all works for both AmiPad and Simplemail now 
I thank you very much, this is what the Amiga community is all about, helping each other _________________

Apparently so, someone over at Amigans.net says he's got it working with Timberwolf and not MUIOWB!_________________

Does that mean I should call the AREXX port OWB or literally BROWSER
I assume that BROWSER is just a generic name for whatever browser you are using, so the entry should be OWB. Is that correct?

Yes.
Name:Browser name.
But since the other lines indicate path, ARexx port, etc. I'm not sure "Name" is anything more than a personal label you give each browser.
I'm sure someone could confirm or deny that with a quick test.
