Bug: Magnet links crash app - programming.dev

See: https://lemmy.ml/post/36048067 [https://lemmy.ml/post/36048067] Attempting to view that community (and I suspect that specific post) in boost causes the app to crash. I guessing due to the magnet link?

Works for me. Possibly issue if you don’t have a handler/app that it can open with?

I installed utorrent to test, no change. What torrent app do you use? I am on the beta track for boost, no idea of that makes a difference.

Either way, an unhandled link shouldn’t cause the app to crash, otherwise a malicious URL could denial of service the app (at least for those affected)
