Protocol handler issue (ed2k)

for previous versions of Linux FF, this was answered at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/754041 and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol
The answers there no longer work.
On Linux ff v25, how does one associate a protocol (ed2k: in this case) with an external program?

OK, that's why I phrased it as a question. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm clueless on this one.

  • Error in the Microsoft SharePoint Server People Protocol Handler

    I am trying to get people search to work. When I am crawling a content source with sps3 start address, I am getting the below error:
    Error in the Microsoft SharePoint Server People Protocol Handler. ( Object reference not set to an instance of an object. )
    I am not sure what is causing this problem. I researched and tried all the suggested solutions but nothing seems to work. How can I check whether I configured everything correctly? Is there a step-by-step guide? I followed this MSDN tutorial so far:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh582311.aspx
    Thanks for any pointers

    Hi dear
    After long time with issue, I discovered there is misunderstanding with the following step:
    "6- In the Path section, in the Path box, type the start address for the User Profile service application in the form
    sps3://<hostname>, where <hostname> is the URL for the Web application where you deployed the My Sites site collection."
    In the article, hostname have to be the name of the web application for my site site collection as mentioned like: sps3://mysite.contoso.com . NOT name of the server whish host this service.

  • File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

    File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

    I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
    In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
    Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
    You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
    Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
    With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?

  • Add new protocol handler at OS level

    Hi,
    I'd like to write a new protocol handler at the OS level, so that when any browser points to myHandler:myData is should open a specified program and pass myData to it. Something similiar to the mailto: handler, which is built in. How do I do this?
    Thanks,

  • Protocol handler in WL6sp1

    Hi,
    We've written our own url protocol handler for retrieving data with
    custom URLs. It works fine in a client application using:
    new java.net.URL("protocol://host:port/blah/blah.xml"); //1
    and in EJB code using
    new java.net.URL(null, "protocol://host:port/blah/blah.xsl", _handler);
    //2
    but when my custom URLs are invoked in EJB code running inside
    WL6 without specifying a Handler (like //1, which is how I need to use
    them),
    the URL is not recognized : I get a MalformedURLException.
    Note that I added a debug statement that checks the value of the
    system property java.protocol.handler.pkgs and my package is
    correctly listed there after many weblogic packages.
    has anyone ever been able to use a custom protocol handler inside WL6 ?
    thanks,

    This problem was resolved by editing the host file (/etc/hosts in the case of my unix box). What had happened in my case was that the box was using the IP address of the external cisco box, when it should have been using its internal IP. So I would recommend looking and checking what your host name resolve to.
    Just thought I would add this note as I hate it when people say problem fixed but leave no resolution.

  • Default external protocol handler not listed as alternative

    In Windows I have registered my own handler for an external protocol in the registry. When I click the link in Firefox or Thunderbird I'm shown the "Launch Application" dialog in which I should choose an application for handling the protocol, but the program I've registered as default handler is not listed as an alternative i.e. the only entry in the list is "Choose an Application"
    Observations:
    * I'm never shown a message stating that the protocol is unknown, i.e. the registry entry is found
    * The links works as expected in IE.
    * If I register the application to another of my programs I get an entry in the dialog for some programs, but not for others. I haven't found any difference in the programs that would cause them to be listed or not. Icons are never shown in the dialog, although defined in the protocols registry settings.
    * If I put an illegal program path in the registry I get an entry in the dialog!?
    * The same problem occurs regardless of the protocol identifier I choose
    * Behaviour is the same regardless if the protocol is registered under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
    * If I change "network.protocol-handler.warn-external-default" in about:config to false my program is successfully launched when clicking the link
    * Currently running on Windows 7 Starter Edition, but the same happens on other versions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista 64-bit as well

    I found the cause for the problem. It was caused by the applications version info in my case. My applications are created with Delphi 2010.
    If I create a small test project and don't check the project option "Include version information in project", the application is shown in the dialog (actually the applications path and arguments are shown as defined in the registry).
    If I check the project option "Include version information in project" the application is only shown in the dialog list if I put text in the FileDescription field.
    In my opinion Firefox should always show the application regardless of the version information supplied. If FileDescription is missing Firefox should fallback to using the ProductName or the applications path.

  • Custom Protocol Handler  in WL6.0

    Hi,
    First, I want to know what kind of Windows do you use? If it is a Windows server system, there might be a security setting that prevents this, you can try to turn it off in this way:
     Open the Server Manager, then select IE ESC,
     Turn off the Internet Explorer Enhanced security configuration both for administrator and        users in the way as the screenshot below:
    If you are using a Windows client system, try to add the local address to the local intranet security setting in this way:
    Open Internet Explorer, then select Internet option, click “security” item.
    Select Local Intranet then click “sites”, then click “advanced”.
    Add the local sites as the screenshot below:

  • My custom protocol handler isn't working after upgrading from 3.0

    Redhat Enterprise Linux 4
    Firefox 3.6.7. Updated via RedHat Network.
    I'm trying to add a custom protocol handler (gdc) to Firefox. This worked in 3.0 and earlier. Now I'm getting "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (gdc) isn't associated with any program." errors.
    Tried adding network.protocol-handler.app.gdc string with valid path. Didn't work. Went to #firefox irc.mozilla.org and was recommended that I add network.protocol-handler.expose.gdc and set it to false. I still get the error.

    Hi There,
    Yep I can confirm that I am having problems with wifi as well.
    My problem is that it is not re-joining known networks.
    Also the auto login feature designed for hotspots does not seem to work well either. The Log In Screen slides up then an error keeps repeating on the page...."Error Opening Page - The page could not be opened because an error occurred"

  • Network.protocol-handler.external.magnet type = boolean value = true

    Associating magnet files with firefox and qbittorrent
    With firefox 3.x the following entries in about:config worked just fine.
    network.protocol-handler.app.magnet type = string value = /usr/bin/qbittorrent
    network.protocol-handler.external.magnet type = boolean value = true
    network.protocol-handler.warn-external.magnet type = boolean value = false
    With 4.0 they don't, and as far as I can see the problem is that 4.0 will not accept "network.protocol-handler.external.magnet type = boolean", because it persistently changes its type to string.
    So how do I get magnet links transferred to qbittorrent through firefox 4.0?

    I too was trying hard to get it work, and none of them was working, but then i did something accidently ended doing, what '''[email protected]''' had done certainly with a little change.
    it didn work at first then, after couple of firefox restarts it asked for application to open magnet. ''firefox 4.''
    # network.protocol-handler.app.magnet = usr/bin/azureus
    # network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet = false
    hope it helps//./

  • Feedback wanted: Imaginary protocol handler

    I would like to get some feedback on a protocol handler I am thinking of The protocol I am designing for is stateless and exchanges packets as commonly known. Usually packets contain commands where a header field (byte) determines the command type. I want to delegate an arbitray packet to an handler for that specitic command type.
    My first idea was to have command-listeners and to decide in a switch statement which listener to call. Since there are nearly 100 command types, which are ordered in command groups, that switch statement would be v e r y long, error-prone and, well, ugly.
    Now I am thinking of a different way - using enums. I'll try to explain this with some code snippets:
    public interface IHander{
        public void handle(Packet p);
    }Just a simple interface which defines a 'handle packet' method. The next one is concrete handler.
    public class CommandGroupA {
        enum Handler implements IHander{       
            Command1(){
                public void handle(Packet p) {
                    cmd1.handleCommand1(p);
            //Command2(){...
            //define for every command in that group a enum type       
            public Command1 cmd1;
            public abstract void handle(Packet p);
        interface Command1{
            public void handleCommand1(Packet p);
        //define for every command in that group a interface
    }The class above represents a command group where every command is represented as an interface and an enum type which acts as delegator for that command. A concrete class will implement the commands.
    class Dummy implements CommandGroupA.Command1{
        public Dummy() {
            CommandGroupA.Handler.Command1.cmd1 = this;
        public void handleCommand1(Packet p){
           //handle packet, compose reply or whatever
    }Well, a dispatcher is still missing. This is where some beauty (in my eyes) come in, because a dispatcher can map a numeric value to a method call. This is because the static method java.lang.Enum.values() returns all elements in the same order they were defined. Now I have to arrange the enums elements in an array so that their index corresponds to their command-code.
    public class Dispatcher{
      IHandler handler[][] = new IHandler[][]{
         CommandGroupA.Handler.values(), //CommandGroupA.Command1 has code 0 0
         CommandGroupB.Handler.values(),
         //have a bunch of command groups...
      public void packetRetrieved(Packet p){
         int cmdGrp = p.getCmdGroup();
         int cmdCode = p.getCmdCode();
        handler[cmdGrp][cmdCode].handle(p);
    }Well, that is my idea. What do you think? A lot of code for a simple task? More compact than a 1000 line switch statement? Slow? I'll be happy if I get some feedback on this idea. Note that I haven't compiled or checked the code above.
    cheers

    To be honset: I don't think anybody would do it otherwise if you have many commands so it's not really groundbreaking

  • Creating custom protocol handler

    Hi all java's guru I hope that you guys can help me. I,ve been trying to develop custom protocol handler that handles this kind of url:
    jdbc://driver_type/database_url/statement
    I have override the URLConnection class but i get confused where to set the input stream and output stream.
    Your guys help will be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Well I've been busy implementing Thinkfree
    application server(online office applet). I have
    succeeded implementing webdav protocol(it's not that
    difficult since webdav works also via http) Now I'm
    trying to develop custom file object that getting his
    inputstream and outputstream from and into the
    database. Because database connection in java only
    possible via jdbc so I have to write my own
    URLStreamHandler and URLConnection class. Does
    anybody has experience in developing a custom
    protocol handler? any advice will be appreciatedAre you aware that the actual protocol used for communication to a database is totally proprietary? As in it depends on the database?
    Could you describe how you think this will work exactly? Because you can't just write a one-size fits all solution here. It just does not exist. And I am not too sure what you mean by the input and output streams from and into the database mean.

  • Protocol Handler in the applet

    Hi.
    I 've created a new protocol handler. It's working fine in the application but doesn't work in the applet.
    The Handler class is in the package - protocol.xxx
    It's registered -
    System.getProperties().put("java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "protocol");
    However xxx:// is unknown protocol in the applet
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    OK, that's why I phrased it as a question. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm clueless on this one.

  • Oc4j java.protocol.handler.pkgs

    Can anyone help, I would like to set java.protocol.handler.pkgs to "com.evermind.protocol|com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol"
    I have tried to modify the default from com.evermind.protocol, using -D and tried to provide the new setting in oc4j.properties. Neither have the desired effect. I have a workaround (set at runtime), but would like to set in *.xml.
    In addition, I have looked at the ApplicationServer.class file and I think the above property is 'hardcoded' in the class.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Deepak,
    Thanks for the reply.
    No. The tutorial sample is not deployed to the standalond oc4j server. Instead, I am trying to deploy it against the application server.
    I had the problem when setting up the connection to the standalone oc4j server. The connection error was "Error When getting MBeanServer EJB" when selecting Standalone OC4J, or "javax.naming.NamingException [Root exception is java.io.EOFException]" when selecting Standalone OC4J 10.1.3.
