Nonsense. I just put a test page on my web site on a remote server, clicked
the link, and iCal came up. So, clicking a link on a remote server allowed
missing link to open a local application with no authorization or
authentication whatsoever.
No, *that* is nonsense. You did not click remotely, you clicked locally.
Have someone *else* on your network click on the page, and see if it
runs something on your computer. It won't; it'll run it on theirs.
It's local.
