[ANN]: NewExternalWebBrowser

Not too long ago, someone requested the ability to open a URL in an external
browser.

Now that Pharo has NativeBoost, it seems we could implement
ExternalWebBrowser much more simply. Here's a first commit for Mac OS X.

Gofer it
        smalltalkhubUser: 'SeanDeNigris' project: 'SeansPlayground';
        package: 'NewExternalWebBrowser';
        load.

'http://google.com' asUrl open.

Nice :)... Thanks,

No problem! BTW let's not depend on NewExternalWebBrowser surviving as the
project's name ;)

Don't be a newb...    ?

n.b. I only implemented Mac OS X. I assume it would be trivial to implement in Windows, but I’m not sure of a cross-Gnu+Lunix-flavor url open command. But I guess we could use whatever the original ExternalWebBrowser ultimately called out to...

Cheers,

Yes, that's what I wrapped :) I just added the behavior directly to ZnUrl
and handled the platform automatically.
