It appears that launchy was designed to launch different types of applications. However, in practice, only web browsers are supported. As such, I believe it makes sense to specify HTTP as the default scheme, both in the library and CLI, such that the following commands will work:

launchy www.ruby-lang.org
Launchy.open 'www.ruby-lang.org'

If you try to run either of this commands currently, you'll receive the somewhat cryptic error:

Failure in opening www.ruby-lang.org with options {}: No application found to handle 'www.ruby-lang.org'

I could see this being useful.
