  <p>I am attempting the following, in Windows:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $ start http://code.google.com/p/mulder/downloads/detail?name=MPUI.2011-06-09.Full-Package.exe&amp;can=2&amp;q=MPlayer&amp;sort=-uploaded
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, it seems that no amount of quoting or escaping actually pulls up the full URL in a browser, only partial (up through can=2) or what not. How can I do it?</p>
