> plumb start window webbrowser ''''$0''''

the problem lies elsewhere

I stumbled on to it when right clicking in acme

my url is http://tiger/a=7

in my plumb rules :

file='([:.][a-zA-Z0-9_?,%#~&/\-=]+)*'

with the = included doesn't match the url

if I change it to file ='.*' it worked fine

from there I changed it to

file='([:.]?[a-zA-Z0-9_?,%#~&/\-=]+)*'

and it worked

and now I can use

plumb start /usr/matt/bin/web_plumber -w tcp!192.168.1.101!8005 ''$0''

I found the : in the file regex puzzling ("surely it's an illegal filename
char") and
I seem to have opened a can of worms on myself.
I started investigating URL syntax : ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2616.txt


http://tiger/~matt/home.html
goes through fine

but
http://tiger/%7ematt/home.html

ends up as
http://tiger/0.000000e+00matt/home.html

If it ends up affecting me I'll look into it more.
