Me too - there were some scripts and I got this working ages ago on OS9 - but can't find or remember how + OSX is different. Would love to do this, especially if the mime types can be registered by the app and not the user?

Firstly, I've defined a custom protocol type, eg "ben:" instead of "ftp:", "mailto:";, etc. Once the user's configured their system to register my app as the handler for the protocol "ben:", clicking on a link in a web page invokes my app, which is sent an AppleEvent from which it can read the full URL. (And this works regardless of browser - ie the mapping of protocol to app occurs at
a system level.)


How is this done? I mean is it possible to configure the system to register an app as associated with a file type like ".mtml" Or does this have to be done by the user? Is there an appleEvent script from which it can read the full URL? How was that done?

Please help,

Mark
