In other programming languages you can open a website in the default browser by spawning a process using the url, but it does not seem to work with D using spawnProcess().

Do I have to do API calls to get the default browser and then call spawnProcess() with the url as an argument or is there a standard D way.

I tried it like the following
spawnProcess("http://www.x.x/");
