From the command prompt it s possible to run for example "open http://www.example.com" and have that homepage displayed in the default browser.
Similarly you can run "open callto:xyz123" to open up a skype-call to user xyz123.
I d like to do the same with a customized web browser without replacing the default web browser. My idea is to register a new protocol (mb) so that when I run "open mb://www.example.com" that web page will open up in this new custom browser.
How can an application register itself to handle URL s with a certain protocol?
