window.open() does not load the page

Question

I want to open a page in a new window/tab but when it's oppen the page don't load.

Controller:

public static Result loadCreateArtigo(){
     return ok(request().host()+request().path());
}

JavaScript:

$.SmartMessageBox({
  buttons : '[Não][Sim]'
}, 
function(ButtonPressed) {
  if (ButtonPressed === "Sim") {            
    Controller.loadCreateArtigo().ajax({
      success: function(data){
          window.open(data);
      },                   
  });
});

The var 'data' returns the url. The url is right but the page don't load. Just load if I click F5. I'm using Google Chrome. Some suggestion?

EDIT:

I'm testing some possible solutions and i got it: if I put window.open("www.google.com"), the new window opens with url like: localhost:9000/"mypath"/www.google.com. I don't know if it could help but...

I think that if you use a string url as parameter of window.open, it has to be an absolute url, like http://example.com. So be sure that your data is absolute url, else add "http[s]://" before it. For reference the MDN documentation about window.open.
