ShellExecute won't run this Localhost file

[Damein]

Not sure why this would be or how to get around it.

ShellExecuteWait('http://localhost:54657/?action=[Speak("Hello World")]&key=ABC1234')

Any ideas? I can do an _IECreate() but would rather not. I can run it manually in Firefox and IE and it works just fine then.

 

Thanks!

;~ ShellExecuteWait('http://localhost:54657/?action=[Speak("Hello World")]&key=ABC1234', "", "", "open")
ShellExecuteWait('http://localhost:54657/?action=[Speak("Hello World")]&key=ABC1234', Null, Null, "open")

Neither the commented code nor the non seemed to of worked. Although if I attempt it a couple times in a row j get an error from Firefox.

you don't try to run a file, you have only parameters. I think puting them in a file and trying to (Shell)executing this file will work.

The OP actually is trying to run an URL, which works when used like: ShellExecuteWait("Http://google.com")

You can't have spaces in a URL so try:

ShellExecuteWait('http://localhost:54657/?action=[Speak("Hello+World")]&key=ABC1234')

I think "+" and space is different on URL!

http://localhost:54657/?action=[Speak(%22Hello%20World%22)]&key=ABC1234

(: I try and no difference! 
Apologize for think of my ignorance!

@Jos's code works fine for me.  You should see your browser open with that URL.  You won't see any page since it requires a webserver with some service running to accept the arguments the OP is passing ...
