Just stumbled upon some interesting settings in iTerm Preferences. It allows you to set URL handlers by hand assigning them to an iTerm bookmark. A bookmark can be any command, so effectively we could send all http and https requests to a shell script, where using some customized regular expressions launch the specific SSB passing along the url.... Only caveat is it might bring iTerm to the front.... maybe not. would have to test it out. Unfortunatley im killed on time this week. Maybe sunday I'll see if i can write something up.
Heres a snippet from iTerm help: *URL Handler* This tab allows user to specify a session to be a handler of URL schemes. When "Connect" button is clicked, iTerm offers a chance to become the default handler if it is not so yet. To disconnect a handler, choose "No Handler". However there is no way to restore the original handler application within iTerm. You can also break a URL into components and use them as parameters in the bookmark's command. Six parameters can be used: - *$$URL$$* The complete URL as the way it is passed in. - *$$HOST$$* The host name in the URL. - *$$USER$$* The user name - *$$PASSWORD$$* The password - *$$PORT$$* The port number - *$$PATH$$* The pathFor example, a bookmark's command is: *telnet -l $$USER$$ $$HOST$$ $$PORT$$*, and the URL is:*telnet:// [EMAIL PROTECTED]:23*. This will give you this command: *telnet -l joe fancyland.com 23* On Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 10:19 PM, James Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > OS X extends a way for applications to register themselves as a "handler" > for specific protocols.
