i added /dev/showfile for windows a while back. in that case, dt hands anything it is given on /dev/showfile to explorer (closest thing to plumber on windows). plumb rule for urls hands them to a script that looks like this:
echo -n $* > /mnt/term/dev/showfile
> mkfifo /tmp/open.fifo
> while () {open `{cat open.fifo}}
> I also have a srcipt on the Plan 9 side, 'web':
> #!/bin/rc
>
> fifoname=/mnt/term/tmp/open.fifo
>
> if (test -e $fifoname)
> echo $* > $fifoname
> if not
> lynx2txt $*
