Hi :)

I have a little problem here and just have to ask if anyone can help me
with this problem.

I have made an application in cocoa and added the following to it's
info.plist file:
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
        <string>Automounter</string>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
            <string>smb</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
</array>

The basis of this application is that it generates a applescript that
mounts up an samba share and opens the file in the url for me. (for use
in a local network etc.) So when I call
smb://<ip>/share/folder/file.type in an browser my program activates and
mounts the share for me and opens that file.

I have tested this with register camino:// with the camino application
and this works.

But How do camino snatch the url from the other browser i originally
wrote it in? (eg. firefox or safari) I initially thought it was sent as
an parameter and build my application on that assumption. But when I
printed all parameters I got there were only the two usual ones, and no url.

How do I get this URL in my application like camino (and some other
applications) do?
