Macintouch is showing an AS script:

I've never been comfortable with AS, so I'm thinking about installing
it to see how it works, then re-writing it in perl, and maybe even
further trap all attempts to climb the directory tree in the uri.

You can use Mac::InternetConfig to "disable" the protocol handlers. But
RCDefaultApp is a better solution for this.

Yeah, but neither of those are nearly as interesting. Of course, since Apple has already done the easy part, it doesn't make any sense to try to build it myself. The perl script in the patch they distributed is kind of interesting.


Any thoughts on the protocol registration issue or the login items issue? I'm thinking it might be useful to have a (say, perl? heh.) script clean up registered protocols and login items that were not explicitly okayed by the user, for one thing.
