Opening a URL on the browser?

[Shedo]

Hi!

What should I use to make my haxe application open a link in the default browser set in the system? I'm currently concerned with doing this for Windows but would be glad if there's a multi-platform approach to do it.

openfl.Lib.getURL(new URLRequest(url));

works fine (assuming you are using openfl), not sure what it doing under the hood, but if you are using openfl then it works just fine.

Cheers,
Ian

Under the hood?...

Yeah, but openfl.lib.getURL opens a browser rather than makes a http request for you to process. At leas thats how i understand it.
