Details

This won't work in Firefox: file://~/file Whereas this works: file:///home/tarek/file I think it would be nice to expand ~ when possible. The way we expand it in Python is: - under linux/mac os: looks for HOME in the env. If none, look into the password file to see if it's defined there. - under Windows: looks for HOME, then for USERPROFILE then for HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH
