Hi all,

I can't get OpenURL to work with my https address:
OpenURL "https://secure.plimus.com/jsp/branded_store.jsp?developerId=78251"

Displays in the web browser as:
http:https://secure.plimus.com/jsp/branded_store.jsp?developerId=78251

It appears to be appending the http: infront of the url.

Does anyone know how to get around this or what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Been this way for a while unfortunately. OpenURL doesn't recognise 'https'.

Try this:

Driver.openURL("https://www.myurl.com")

This will attempt to open any URL you throw at it, without checking for http or https prefixes (like what the OpenURL function does before calling Driver.OpenURL()).

OpenURL("https://secure.plimus.com/jsp/branded_store.jsp?developerId=78251")

On my computer opens FireFox and show this site

http://parking.ddc.com/?dn=https.com&pid=1PO51T643

Maybe is the HTTPS protocol not correctly handled?
