Can someone tell me what's wrong with this simple script (which used

work under Jaguar AFAIR):
tell application "Finder"
open location "http://sourceforge.net/projects/rezilla";

I get an error, something like "Some data do not have the correct
type"
"open location" is part of the Standard Addition osax, and the Finder
thinks
it should handle the GURLGURL event...
Specifically, it thinks it should handle it as a WebDAV mount, which of
course it isn't, hence the error. In general, telling a particular
application to "open location" will not do what you want, unless what
you wanted was *that particular application* to open it.
If you're doing this from C, then you should be aware that "open
location" is really just a wrapper around LSOpenCFURLRef, which would
be much more efficient and will always open the URL in the preferred
application for "http" URLs no matter what weird GURLGURL handlers are
lurking about. If you're writing in C, calling AppleScript is usually
not the right thing to do unless you're actually trying to run a
non-trivial script.
