how to make your app process non-http URLs

The only thing worst than not knowing how to write some code, is not being able to, because you have forgotten what you once knew!!!

Help!

(Oh, did I mention I can't find the code I wrote ages ago?)

I want to add code to my program so that when a user clicks on a link from some web page from within Safari, and that URL has my custom non- http link, that URL information is passed to my application. For example, if I wanted to have the user start a game within my application, the URL might be "game://checker.twoplayer.classic". The application would not only launch, but be passed the exact "checker.twoplayer.classic" information so it could be used as parameters for some action. This is the way AIM & AOL handle links to AIM and AOL chats and pages.

I know you have to register the URL type inside the app's plist file, but can not find mine, or anyone else, examples of this. Nor can I find the actual application method you must override (or notification you must handle) to actually process the URL. Can someone lead me in the right direction? Documentation? Or better yet, provide some source code?

Thank you!

Steve Sheets
