Just about every other browser (IE, FF, Safari, Opera) will launch an application when a URL of a registered protocol is specified. For example, If a user launches the following url:
customProtocol://DoSomething These browsers look up the application that handles the 'customProtocol' protocol and launch the registered application. This is documented for IE and FF: IE: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914(VS.85).aspx FireFox: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol However it appears that Chrome ignores all registered protocols and assumes the user is searching for the keyword 'customProtocol:// DoSomething'. Is this intentional? If so, why. If not, is it planned to include this functionality? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-discuss" group.
