This patch simply removes a space in a netscape -remote
command that is executed by webbrowser.  This space
caused problems with certain urls, at least with
netscape 7.2.  For example,

webbrowser.open_new('http://www.python.org')

would file, though

webbrowser.open_new('http://www.python.org/')

would work.

Yes, I can confirm the problem with Mozilla. I updated my
big patch for webbrowser.py at http://python.org/sf/754022.

1144816 and 1077979 are the the same patch, as documented
  in a comment for 1144816  by Oleg Broytmann.

 The wrong behaviour was reported to Mozilla (unspecified
version),
 Netscape 7.2 and Mozilla-firefox (unspecified version).

 I could not reproduce the problem  neither with Mozilla
1.7.2 nor
 with Firefox 1.0.1. Nevertheless, applying the patch does
not break 
 current functionality and might fix bugs in older browsers. 

 I recommend applying 1077979, and closing 1144816.
