Forgot to say this.
If you want to experience this right now without installing, you can try
it in UCI's regions in OSGrid, "UCI Welcome" and "UC Irvine".

Subject: Re: [Opensim-dev] TP protocol handle
Thanks all for the pointers. I now understand a lot better what these
handles are all about, and I've done the first step into pervasive
hyperlinking within OpenSim.
Starting in r8193, if you're in an HG-enabled region, you'll be able to
dynamically link sims, and TP there, in any one of these ways (and
probably more)
1) Type for example secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007/ in the
chat box, pull up the chat history and click on that link
2) Pull up the map and search for things like ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007
3) Using the embedded browser visit pages that have links like
secondlife://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9007/ (there's one up at
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes/hypergrid/test.html)
What I've done is to take advantage of the viewer's existing machinery,
especially its interpretation of secondlife:// handles, which expect a
region name to follow. When that name is not found in the local grid,
this new code kicks in, and does the magic.
This doesn't address the launching of the viewer, which is a separate
issue, and one that slurl and similar mechanisms like rezzme:// try to
address. What it does is, after you're already logged in soomewhere, you
can go hypergriding around in a very easy way, all within the viewer's
capabilities.
The static link-region command and uploads over the web, is still very
useful because it supports permanent links. The ones I added are not
(intended to be) permanent, they (will) come and go.
Feedback welcome!

Hi,
I want to take HG TPs to the next logical step and support dynamic
links, that is, the ability for the user to simply click on something
like this
http://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9003/
and be teleported there from anywhere on the Metaverse.
The question is: what should these handles look like?
I see a variety of protocol handles out there, and I confess I don't
understand entirely how the viewer handles these -- but I'll figure it
out. In any case, I see:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Foo/126/32/
secondlife://Foo/126/32/ (this doesn't come underlined on my viewer,
for some reason)
rezzme://ucigrid04.nacs.uci.edu:9003/Foo/126/32 (this also doesn't come
underlined)
Obviously, the closest to what we need is the rezzme handler. Is that
working already? Should I take that on for the hypergrid? Or something
else? Does anyone know if/how the viewer sends that hyperlink clicking
event to the server?
