About this plugin
You spin up a dev server or a docs site inside WSL, only to switch back to Windows and paste the address into a browser by hand. dsh-wsl-browser provides the win_open_url tool that hands an http/https URL straight to the Windows default browser in one step, removing the back-and-forth window switching and copy-paste ritual. For safety, only http and https schemes are accepted; file: and other local path protocols are rejected.
When localhost forwarding is not available—say the Windows firewall blocks the 127.0.0.1 WSL mapping—the tool automatically includes a fallback hint built from the current WSL network IP. Paired with dsh-wsl-port from the same kit for port-level diagnostics, it covers the vast majority of cross-environment access issues.
As part of the dsh-wsl-kit suite, this tool is a good fit for developers and ops engineers who routinely start front-end dev servers, API debug endpoints, or local documentation sites inside WSL while preferring to view them in a Windows-side browser.
Use Cases
- Open a dev server started in WSL directly in the Windows default browser
- Get a WSL IP fallback address when localhost forwarding is blocked
- Skip copy-paste friction when accessing local API endpoints during debugging
Best For
- Engineers who routinely start front-end or back-end dev servers in WSL
- Developers who debug local services across the WSL/Windows boundary
- Ops engineers managing WSL network environments with the dsh-wsl-kit suite
