The part of a URI before the colon is called the "scheme." Ultimately, it's up to the browser which schemes are implemented. The complete list of official schemes defined by IANA is here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes.html Note that there is no rdp scheme, there is a 'provisional' ssh scheme (I'm not sure what that means). Some people have reported getting the ssh scheme to work on firefox with a config change. But AFAIK, there's no official support for it in Linux. It might be implemented in some of the desktops, but once again, it's up to the browsers to interface with those desktops. If you want to navigate these links from your own Linux system, I suggest something along the lines of creating a small script that knows what do with those kinds of urls and then copy/pasting those urls to the script. If you're trying to support a linux option at your workplace, I suggest you figure out how to do it on firefox and then make that the officially supported browser so you can push that config out to everyone. > to open up gnome-terminal, but it doesn't pass through the destination > server. Tried it in Opera as well, no luck there either. > _______________________________________________ > Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org > http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug > > Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College > Feb 6 - Raspberry Pi > Mar 6 - 10th Anniversary Meeting - Linux where you least expect it > Apr 3 - Typography: Physical Art to Digital Art > ============================================================================= michaelMuller = [email protected] | http://www.mindhog.net/~mmuller ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scnozwangers?
