Thanks Andre
I finally made it work by rebuilding the Launch Services database.
Now the part I don't know yet is how to receive the parameters in my
Rev App.
For example if the URL is myapp:parameters
How can I read those parameters when the system invokes the Rev App?

Andres,
I am searching for doing the same thing. By altering the plist, you
also need to touch the file to advertise to Finder that it needs to
refresh its database. There are other ways too. The best way would be
to create an external binding into the launch services API.
In the past, I did a hack that could do this kind of stuff by altering
some plists and default entries on mac os x tiger.
check this post http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/73700
I had a stack to create such custom protocol entries for mac os x, but
I can't find it... maybe it was destroyed with my old machine when it
fried. :-) If I find it and you still want it, I can send to you.

Hello again,
With more google search I found the following...
------------------------------------------
Here is what you need to do to register your app for a custom URL
scheme (for the example we will use a "myapp" scheme).
1) In your Info.plist, add a new entry for CFBundleURLTypes?:
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
<string>MyApp's URL</string>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>myapp</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
2) Somewhere in your application's startup code (e.g. init), add this
code:
- (void)registerMyApp
{
[[NSAppleEventManager sharedAppleEventManager]
setEventHandler:self
andSelector:@selector(getUrl:withReplyEvent:)
forEventClass:kInternetEventClass andEventID:kAEGetURL];
}
- (void)getUrl:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)event withReplyEvent:
(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)replyEvent
{
NSString *url = [[event
paramDescriptorForKeyword:keyDirectObject]
stringValue];
// now you can create an NSURL and grab the necessary parts
}
------------------------------------------
Now, I need to know how can I run such code from within my Rev app.

Hello
I found the following text in this page...
http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/playground/security/URLschemes/
--------------------------------------------------
"The Finder automatically registers all applications as it becomes
aware of them, such as [...] when the user navigates to a folder
containing them."
Part of that registration involves LaunchServices (an under-the-hood
thing, somewhat similar/related to InternetConfig) to check if a
thusly found application advertises itself as being capable of
handling a specific URL scheme. If the executable can do http for
example, it will contain that information in such a way that Finder
can access it (and pass the info on to LaunchServices).
--------------------------------------------------
Does anybody know how to include this type of information into OSX
Rev applications?
