More Internet - 1.2

I know how it work in MacOSX 10.3.9

For example:

lets create AS Application with the following content:

on open location foo
display dialog foo
end


-Save as Application Bundle
-Browse package contents and edit "Info.plist"
-Modify CFBundleSignature (it was "aplt" and it is now "CACA")
-Add the magical lines in the plist file:

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
<string>mailto handler</string>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>myProtocol</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
-Modify the "PkgInfo"

I can register a new Protocol Helper with help of MoreInternet

It works perfect in 10.3.9 but do not work in 10.4.2.
When I try to start working I get the follosing message:
Safari can’t open “myProtocol:51p:132:014:1:1:20:C” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “myProtocol:”.

I suggest that MoreInternet do not work correctly in 10.4.2.
But this is not true. I can regiser any Application using MoreInternet (for example TextEdit, Internet Explorer) as Protocol Helper for myProtocol and can see that I can get this Application using link myProtocol:bla-bla


Could you please help me to understand what else AppleScript Application needs for work as Protocol Helper in MacOSX 10.4.2

Dear Sirs,
I've got a couple of questions regarding use of More Internet v 1.1.1. utility.
Utility successfully works with MacOS 10.3.9. I'm using More Internet for installing of new protocol and affixment of it to the special program on Applescript. As a result I have data transfer from Intranet Information system via URL of my new protocol for using in DTP-programs.
The problem is that in MacOS 10.4.2 I'm not able to reach the same functionality. Window of utility More Internet accepts registration of new protocol, but that does not lead to call of necessary program from Safari or any other Internet browser.
I got the following message: Safari can’t open “MyProtocol:51p:125:116:1:1:20:C” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “MyProtocol:”.
It will be very good to get the new version of More internet able to work with MacOS 10.4.2. Or could you please tell how from command prompt of Terminal I can register new protocol and affixment of it to the needed program.
Best regards,
Konstantin Kapustin.

Even though this is a very "simple" utility - it offers ways to assign helper applications to various protocols - it's for now essential if you want to secure your mac against remote attacks.

Untli Apple finally fixes the help:// security hole, (and not just this one...) i'm using it to redirect all potentially dangerous calls to "dumb" apps, like:

• send protocol "ssh" to "Preview" - can't open ssh window through browser
• send protocol "telnet" to "Preview" - ditto, for telnet windows
• send protocol "help" to "Preview" - ditto, for help viewer windows

Help viewer still works, it's able to open control panels remotely etc, but you can't call it from a browser :-)

Of course, this is only a workaround for those users that don't need the "click on browser, open Terminal window" functionality. However, i'd rather launch Terminal by hand than have some website or malignant e-mail do this automatically to start deleting files on my machine...

Not bad, but it would be a lot more like the old Internet Config if it handled helper apps for downloaded files better. Right now it seems to employ MIME-types, which is pretty clunky. File types would be better.
