list of protocols isn't a good idea, and actually harms<br>
interoperability.<br></blockquote><div><br>I've found <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2008-June/009720.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2008-June/009720.html</a> thread where the discussion just stalled while everybody seemed to agree on adding a list of protocols. <br>
It was also briefly brought up in 2010: <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2010-October/011661.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2010-October/011661.html</a> and continued in <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2010-November/011679.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2010-November/011679.html</a> + follow-ups. Opinions on that thread seem to be mixed.<br>
<br>The important info I got from there is that on GNOME, XFCE, LXDE etc. all apps support any GIO-supported URLs, and that in GNOME's experience making the "viewer" apps download the data doesn't work.<br>
