Apple broke this in their latest update. Python has the same issue:
Python 3.5.1 |Anaconda 2.4.1 (x86_64)| (default, Dec 7 2015, 11:24:55)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)] on darwin
>>> import webbrowser as wb
>>> b = wb.get(None)
>>> b.open('http://www.google.com')
0:37: execution error: "http://www.google.com" doesn’t understand the “open location” message. (-1708)
False
It's actually a bug with AppleScript:
MacBook:~ chris$ osascript <<EOF
> open location "http://www.google.com"
> EOF
0:37: execution error: "http://www.google.com" doesn’t understand the “open location” message. (-1708)
http://bugs.python.org/issue30392
It sounds like it might be fixed in macOS 10.12.6 public beta (version 2), but I don't have access to that so I can't test it.
In the meantime, I'll see if I can get a workaround into IDL.
