<p>details the URL part; stubs in the file part, because murph&#039;s comments in {{bug|364497}} comment 5 seem completely wrong now, at least for URLs</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>There are multiple ways that Camino can receive requests to open URLs or files from external applications, and thus multiple codepaths to handle these requests.<br /> <br /> ==URLs==<br /> <br /> # openURL: in MainController handles URL-only drags to the Dock icon and URLs from our Open URL service.<br /> #* The pasteboard gives us unescaped Unicode URLs via this codepath.<br /> <br /> # MainController’s init: checks NSUserDefaults for the -url key, i.e., &lt;code&gt;./Camino.app/Contents/MacOS/Camino -url http://caminobrowser.org&lt;/code&gt;<br /> #* Whatever provides that to us also gives us unescaped Unicode URLs.<br /> <br /> # GetURLCommand.mm handles the GURL AppleEvent (opening links from external applications, the &lt;code&gt;open&lt;/code&gt; command in the Terminal, and the &lt;code&gt;open location&lt;/code&gt; AppleScript command).<br /> #* While the &lt;code&gt;open&lt;/code&gt; command in the Terminal and links from external apps come as percent-escaped URLs, the &lt;code&gt;open location&lt;/code&gt; GURL AppleScript command sends unescaped URLs (at least on 10.5) just like user-defaults and the pasteboard :P<br /> <br /> ==Files==<br /> <br /> # NSApplication delegate method application:openFile: in MainController.mm<br /> # openPanelDidEnd: in MainController.mm<br /> # GetURLCommand.mm<br /> <br /> In all three cases, we rely on decodeLocalFileURL: in NSURL+Utils.m to parse URLs out of URL-container files (old- and new-style .weblocs, .caminobookmarks, and IE .url files).</div>
