So does ICLaunchURL have an internal list of hints of schemes (such as mailto)
which it looks up and then uses associated data to he interpret the URL?
If so is there a list of such schemes understood by ICLaunchURL?
Or does it use the hint just to parse off the leading bit of the URL you
supply such as :
mailto:email@hidden ---> email@hidden
Or does it just use the hint to add the scheme mailto: to a URL you supply
such as email@hidden -- >
mailto:email@hidden.
So if I use a scheme of my own devising swolf: with an associated
helper app defined in InternetConfig what happens then.
Sorry, maybe I am being a bit obtuse because I have not read RFC XXX
or something.
