I'm going to try it out on a remote server later today. I did use this script to fetch remote HTML (url='http://www.python.org') before I tired the remote file, and it opened the webpage in Firefox.
I may also try to poke around in webbrowser.py, if possible, to see if I can see whether it's selecting the executable for the given extension, or passing it off to the OS. I would think, since Python is not /supposed/ to have client-side scripting powers, that even when the script is on the client this is bad behavior. Just don't have the bandwidth, just now. Anyone got a good regex that will always detect an extension that might be considered a script? Or reject all but known non-scripted extensions? Because wrapping the webbrowser.open() call would be the workaround, and upgrading webbrowser.py would be a solution. --Blair -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
