I am unsure if this is the correct place to report this, but I am going to anyway.

Safari ignores urls that have been passed via the command line, ie.

If someone executes:

 "c:\program files\safari\safari.exe" "http://www.apple.com/iphone/"

it should launch apple.com/iphone, but it does not, it ignores that and loads the homepage.

I have had no luck explaining this on the safari discussion forums, hopefully people here understand.

I ahve marked this as critical, as it basicly hinders anyone setting safari as the default browser, because there is no point, you click a link in an external app, and .... it loads the homepage.

This is not a WebKit issue, so it will be moved to Apple internal Radar and tracked there.

Closing as INVALID as this is not a WebKit issue.

How do i track the progress now?

I believe <devbugs@apple.com> is the address one can use for such inquiries.

Mark, I hope this isn't tracked as low priority in Radar - it should be possible to use Safari as a default browser, shouldn't it? :-)
