Hello there, I was playing with the dpi's and
made one for ed2k:// links (based on the Hello
World example). It was just a quicky, and not
generally useful, but I was wondering if anyone
was working on a general protocol handler.
Along these lines:
- Dillo doesn't recognize the protocol so sends it
to say external.dpi
- external.dpi reads an external.conf file that
has a list of protocols and respective
external handlers.
- If it finds a matching protocol it sends
the url(%s), or just the url data (%r), to
the handler.
- If there's no matching
protocol it could show an edit page (like
bookmarks modify) for the external.conf.
This could be used for mailto:, nntp:, telnet:,
etc..
Anyhow, I starting playing with it, and I
thought I should check to see if anyone else was
also working on it before I went any further.
Also, if there's any advice on the approach, or
code I should look at, that would be cool. I am
no expert C programer, I'm just reading the docs
and modifying the code the other fellows already
did. (I hope that's ok)
