Two part question,
I am trying to create a menu containing available web browsers similar
to the one in the Safari Preferences. I understand that Internet
Config is now out of fashion and the proper way to do things is with
Launch Services and System Configuration. Using
LSCopyApplicationURLsForURL I am able to get http viewers, however I
get applications that are not web browsers. I decided it would be best
to cross reference my list with a list of html viewers as well. The
problem is that a file url to an actual file is required. Creating a
tmp file or bundling a html file that users might damage seems like a
bit of a hack to populate a small menu.
Question 1: Is there any way to get a list of registered viewers for a
file type without actually needing a real file.
Also, Safari allows you to change the default browser from that menu.
The only way I know of doing this is through Internet Config.
Question 2: Is there any 'supported' way to set the default browser?
I'm using OS X 10.3.x and XCode.
