Possible bug with WebView

This code, naturally, works fine:

native.showWebPopup( 0, 0, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight, "http://www.google.com" )

However this doesn’t, it simply displays a blank grey page (or just nothing):

native.showWebPopup( 0, 0, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra\_Palace\_station" )

I was thinking it could be because of the underscores so I encoded them and then used this code:

native.showWebPopup( 0, 0, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra%5FPalace%5Fstation" )

Still no luck. Any ideas? [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 7399 reply_id: 307399[/import]

i wonder if Wikipedia’s own mobile redirects break it

this is in the source at the bottom for instance…
http://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions-1.17/WikimediaMobile/MobileRedirect.js?2.2

what do you get with this instead:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Palace_station [import]uid: 6645 topic_id: 7399 reply_id: 26137[/import]

Awesome! Thanks J that was it! Weird that it works in the mobile browser via system.openURL but not in a web view though. [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 7399 reply_id: 26147[/import]
