digitalmars.D.learn - Opening browser and url.

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/");
