Bug#746707: refuses to use tel URIs

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 3.4.2-2.1
Severity: important


I have configured a handler for the tel: URI prefix and confirmed the
settings are present in gconf:

$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/tel/command
/usr/bin/sipdialer %s

$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/tel/needs_terminal
false

$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/tel/enabled
true



I create a test.html containing:

<a href="tel:+442071234567">dial it</a>

Clicking the link in Epiphany gives this error (I'm not sure if it is
just for "tel" or all manually configured prefixes):

Oops! It was not possible to show this website

The website at tel:+442071234567 seems to be unavailable. The precise
error was:

URL cannot be shown

It could be temporarily switched off or moved to a new address. Don't
forget to check that your internet connection is working correctly.



Expected action: Epiphany should give the URI to the handler configured
in the desktop.
