Hi,
I have just read the "Web Kit Plug-In Programming Topics" document
located at the following URL.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/InternetWeb/Conceptual/WebKit_PluginProgTopic/index.html
And then I also reviewed, compiled, and successfully used (after
removing the normal QuickTime plugin) the example WebKit plugin for
viewing a quicktime movie.
/Developer/Examples/WebKit/WebKitMoviePlugIn/
However, walking through these docs and example have left a big
question unanswered for me. How does one create a plugin for handling
content in a non-embeded fashion?
For example, prior to the Apple supplied PDF plugin there was a 3rd
party Safari plugin that displayed PDFs. And this plugin would get
invoked whenever you clicked a link to a PDF file. Clearly this did
not require the <object><embed> type situation that the
WebKitMoviePlugIn example demonstrates. I am intereted in doing
something similar to the PDF type plugin, suchas when a user accesses
a .foo file my plugin would handle it and display the content. Due to
other restrictions this would be an ObjC plugin for WebKit only, not a
Netscape style plugin.
Can anyone provide any tips or point me towards any documentation that
would be helpful? I can't seem to find the right info for doing this
type of a plugin. Thanks!
