   52/** <module> Open a URL in the users browser
   53
   54This library deals with the highly platform   specific task of opening a
   55web  page.  In  addition,   is   provides    a   mechanism   similar  to
   56absolute_file_name/3 that expands compound terms   to concrete URLs. For
   57example, the SWI-Prolog home page can be opened using:
   58
   59  ==
   60  ?- www_open_url(swipl(.)).
   61  ==
   62*/
   63
   64%!  www_open_url(+Url)
   65%
   66%   Open URL in running version of the users' browser or start a new
   67%   browser.  This predicate tries the following steps:
   68%
   69%     1. If a prolog flag (see set_prolog_flag/2) =browser= is set
   70%     and this is the name of a known executable, use this.  The
   71%     flag may be set to `Command-Mode`, where mode is one of `fg`
   72%     or `bg`, requesting Command to run in foreground or background
   73%     mode.  Default is `bg`.
   74%
   75%     2. Hand the URL to the desktop using desktop_open/2 from
   76%     library(desktop) if this library is available.  On Windows we
   77%     use win_shell/2 if it is not.
   78%
   79%     3. If a environment variable =BROWSER= is set
   80%     and this is the name of a known executable, use this.
   81%
   82%     4. Try to find a known browser.
