I have a custom uri like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Demo]
@="URL:Demo Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Demo\DefaultIcon]
@="\"D:\\demo.bat\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Demo\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Demo\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Demo\shell\open\command]
@="\"D:\\demo.bat\" \"%1\" \"%2\" \"%3\" \"%4\""
For running this from the command prompt, I use this command:
D:\demo.bat -ping -ip 172.18.102.65
But for running the same from browser, if I use the custom URI as Demo: then it is asking me to pass the parameters. I am not aware of how to pass the parameters to the custom URI if I run it form the browser.
How to pass the parameters while running this custom uri from browser? Please advise.
When using a custom URL, the entire URL is passed to the registered app/script as a single parameter. Your app/script needs to parse the URL to extract what it needs. For example:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Demo\shell\open\command]
@="\"D:\\demo.bat\" \"%1\""
You can format the URL any way you want, as long as it is a valid URL and begins with demo:, eg:
D:\demo.bat "demo:ping?ip=172.18.102.65"
D:\demo.bat "demo:ping=172.18.102.65"
D:\demo.bat "demo:ping%20172.18.102.65"
Update: Note, however, that this only works with Internet Explorer (and Windows Explorer, and the Windows Shell). You need another solution for other browsers. For instance, Firefox has its own Protocol Handler mechanisms:
