I'm trying to figure out how to open an html file or URL in an external (host-based) browser. From what I understand the winebrowser should do this, however I haven't been able to figure out how to configure it - have tried adding entries to the winebrowser registry keys as suggested.
Perhaps the problem is that I'm running on Mac OS X...
Anyone with experience or hints here?
Cheers!

command may come in handy. The following commands will open a site in
your default browser, Safari and Firefox, respectively:
open http://example.com
open -a Safari http://example.com
open -a Firefox http://example.com
On OS X the full path to an app's executable is a bit odd, and you may
need to do further trickery to the passed URL. For Safari, the
executable is in:
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
Using the open command is probably the best bet on a Mac, but the
executable may be helpful. You could also wrap browser startup in a
shell script, throw that in your path and it would probably work as
expected.
Thanks ryan. That almost worked But then I found that I had to also fix this:

so that the urls would open from within my app. Was getting this error
err:winebrowser:get_url_from_dde Unable to retrieve URL from string L"\""
which turns out to be well known...
Thanks! Works now!
