Hello, At this point chrome does not support launching external protocol from the omnibox (address bar).
On the other hand, if you click on a link on a webpage pointing to an external protocol handler, it will work. Alternatively, you can also create a bookmark pointing to an external protocol handler. But the really cool thing that you can also do (which is sort of a hack), is to add a new search engine to the omnibox for that. - Right click the omnibox and select "Edit search engines" - Click the "Add" button - Set the name to "vnc" and the keyword to "vnc" - Set the URL to "vnc:%s" And now when you want to connect to vnc on port 127.0.0.1, just type vnc[tab]127.0.0.1 I hope this helps Nicolas On 9/18/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > This is a firefox and IE feature but I wasn't able to find it in > Chrome. > Protocol Handler allow to manage protocol not supported by the > browser. > Typically on windows or mac, you can type telnet:127.0.0.1 on your > > browser or windows, and the browser will launch your default telnet > > client (on windows, this is defined on registry). > > This allow also to customize association and manage custom protocol > > (like type vnc:127.0.0.1 to start vnc). > > > It could be great if Chrome support this interesting feature > especially for Web based application. > > Kind regards, > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-discuss" group.
