Hi all,

I have written a download manager for a Company's Intranet.
Whenever a employee clicks on a URL with a special extension in
Netscape 4.x, my program overtakes the download, installs it, download
further files, grants accounts, etc. To summarize, my program behaves
like the well-known program GoZilla, GetRight or RealDownload with the
difference that it runs only within the Intranet of  that company and
makes additionally actions on the downloaded file
My old program uses the OLE automation (external protocol
handler)(NCAPI) from Netscape 4.x with the following protocol: 
        short Initialize(LPCTSTR pProtocol, LPCTSTR pUrl); 
        void Open(LPCTSTR pUrl); 

It seems to me that Mozilla/Netscape 6.0 does not support the above
protocol any more.  

Is it possible to write a download manager with XpCom ?
