What about a way for an application to inform callers that it wants to take the URL of a resource? Then it would be possible to click on a link to an iCalendar file, RSS feed or other HTTP resource, and hand its processing off to an external program, without increasing the proliferation of fake protocol schemes such as hkp://, feed://, webcal:// and so on.

Desktop entry specification 1.0 Posted Aug 8, 2006 16:12 UTC (Tue) by pj (subscriber, #4506) [Link] why not submit the whatever to the W3C or whomever to make them non-fake?
Desktop entry specification 1.0 Posted Aug 8, 2006 17:17 UTC (Tue) by cortana (subscriber, #24596) [Link] The same reason why it's not a good idea to have an SSL and a non-SSL version of every protocol scheme; we end up with millions and millions of protocol schemes, when we only need one (http).
