Subject: [PATCH] web--browse: support /usr/bin/cygstart on Cygwin
Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2013 02:24:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371799472-11564-1-git-send-email-yselkowitz@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)
From: Yaakov Selkowitz <yselkowitz@users.sourceforge.net>
While both GUI and console Cygwin browsers do exist, anecdotal evidence
suggests most users rely on their native Windows browser. cygstart,
which is a long-standing part of the base Cygwin installation, will
cause the page to be opened in the default Windows browser (the one
registered to open .html files).
