Support data URI

[sonnyp]

opn data:,Hello%2C%20World!

should open the data URI in the browser but does nothing (OS X)

[sindresorhus]

Neither does the builtin open:

❯ open data:,Hello%2C%20World!
The file /Users/sindresorhus/data:,Hello%2C%20World! does not exist.

[sonnyp]

So it doesn't enter within the scope of opn?

[sonnyp]

somehow missed

Uses the command open on OS X, start on Windows and xdg-open on other platforms.

It will probably work if you explicitly specify a browser in the app option.

[sindresorhus]

You could also probably hack support for it by detecting a data URI and writing the contents to a tempfile, then open that file.

[sonnyp]

@sindresorhus so I take you'd accept a PR?

[sindresorhus]

Hmm, not sure. Why do you need it? What are you using it for?

[sonnyp]

@sindresorhus I'd use it with pipe, when playing with buffers that contain image data it's quite useful

./myscript | opn

[sonnyp]

I don't think it's of much usefulness to most users though, I could simply write an ori Open URI cli that uses opn and a temporary file as you suggested

[sindresorhus]

I think it would be useful for https://github.com/sindresorhus/opn-cli. PR welcome to add stdin support there using https://github.com/sindresorhus/get-stdin and https://github.com/sindresorhus/temp-write.
