Query params in http link on Windows

[3y3]

http://www.example.com?param1=1&param2=2

opens as

http://www.example.com?param1=1

because & symbol parses as command separator.
Correct link:

http://www.example.com?param1=1^&param2=2

Is this expected behavior?

No, definitely not expected behavior. Adding some escaping would be quite welcome.

I ran into this as well and tried to double quote the url, but got an error that windows couldn't find /http://myurl... not sure why it had a slash in front. I found that exec seems to work with a quoted url though on Windows.

.exec('cmd /c start "" "'+url+'"')

That makes me think opener('"http://www.example.com?param1=1^&param2=2"') will work (i.e. actually include the double quotes). I'd be open to auto-escaping but currently we support multiple arguments (I'm not sure why) which makes it kind of tricky...
