[kde] Sending HTML to konqueror from the command line (via a named pipe)



With the help of some posters over on the lvlug list (lvlug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx),
I've been able to send some HTML to firefox and lynx from the command line,
via a named pipe, iiuc.)

I can't get the same thing to work for konqueror. Any hints? (I've tried
quite a few ways of invoking konqueror and variations on the URL.)

Here's what works in lynx and firefox:

[rhk@s14 rhk]$ mkfifo foo.html
[rhk@s14 rhk]$ echo "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>TEST</BODY></HTML>" > foo.html

Then, in firefox, browse to file:///rhk/foo.html, or start firefox (or lynx)
with:

mozilla-firefox file:///rhk/foo.html &

Tried the same thing, and quite a few variations, with konqueror and none of
them work.

(The following is just a partial list of some of the variations--I've mixed
and matched, varied the number of slashes, added my host name, my fully
qualified host name, tried localhost...

* kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing /rhk/foo.html
* konqueror http:///rhk/foo.html
* dcop konqueror-21622 konqueror-mainwindow#1 newTab file:///rhk/foo.html
)

Any hints?
