As long as this evening's offerings seem to be off topic, I thought I'd
sneak this in...
Missing Link has been exhumed and revitalized (see below).
Those of you 'old enough' to remember the furor on this list in 2004
(shortly before a significant 10.3.x Security Update) that a similar
announcement created may want to cover their eyes and ears.
I would still be interested to hear from those with networking and
sysadmin experience to learn if Missing Link is still patently insecure,
or whether I've (finally) managed to shore things up.
More detail and a download are available at:

Thanks.

Missing Link is a simple utility that allows you to open, run or launch
almost anything on your Mac from a link or a bookmark in a browser... or
from links in Cocoa applications that support HTML.
Files, folders, applications, script applications, and a variety of other
file types may be linked on disk much like items are linked on the web -
the URL format is very similar. But when clicked, linked items behave
just as if they had been double-clicked in the Finder.
Missing Link works with most browsers on Mac OS X... and most Cocoa
applications that support HTML.
The 'Quick Link' droplet script (provided) writes links for almost
anything dropped on its icon and offers three simple HTML formats.
A one-time manual installation is required.
-----
Version 2.3b is measurably improved over v2.1b and includes these
refinements:
-- At least twice as fast.
-- Now runs in the background and never shows in the Dock.
-- Security option added.
-- Support added for URL encoding and HTML page encoding... allowing
international characters in URLs.
-- Support added for passing arguments or parameters from the HTML 'get'
method to AppleScript handlers.
