[New-bugs-announce] [issue25005] webbrowser breaks on query strings with multiple fields on Windows

[Brian Hou]

New submission from Brian Hou:

With Python 3.5.0rc2 (tested with both Git BASH and Cmder on Windows 8):

$ python3
>>> import webbrowser
>>> webbrowser.open_new('http://example.com/?a=1&b=2')
'b' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
True

The opened page is http://example.com/?a=1 rather than http://example.com/?a=1&b=2.

Trying to open a URL with only one field works as expected.
