html links in Gaim?

[wiredless]

When using Gaim and someone posts a link, when i click the link i get an error that the browser command is invalid. The question i have is in Gaim how do i make it send the link to opera?

I have the same problem, Not just with html links but also when you open a newly received email.

By setting the Browserselection manual by using
Manual: /usr/bin/browser %s
You would expect to open the browser with the url. Saddly, it only opens the browser, with an empty field.
Anybody know what the open command should be or where I could find it?

Has anyone found a fix for this?

yes, you need to put this line in the manual entry field

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:%s

ththat'll do it for the N800 anyway

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:%s
works fine on my N800 :)

Can someone, who has not made such changes as mentioned above try and see if the (similar) links sent via gmail opens up when clicked upon ? This is on a Nokia 770 please. This works for me, but I have not tried this thru Gaim.

Try:

--dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.open_new_window string:%s

If you want open new web browser
