Detailed Description
nsIHandlerApp represents an external application that can handle content of some sort (either a MIME type or a protocol).
FIXME: now that we've made nsIWebHandlerApp inherit from nsIHandlerApp, we should also try to make nsIWebContentHandlerInfo inherit from or possibly be replaced by nsIWebHandlerApp (bug 394710).
Member Function Documentation
| boolean nsIHandlerApp::equals | ( | in nsIHandlerApp | aHandlerApp | ) |
Whether or not the given handler app is logically equivalent to the invokant (i.e.
they represent the same app).
Two apps are the same if they are both either local or web handlers and their executables/URI templates and command line parameters are the same.
- Parameters:
-
aHandlerApp the handler app to compare to the invokant
- Returns:
- true if the two are logically equivalent, false otherwise
| void nsIHandlerApp::launchWithURI | ( | in nsIURI | aURI, | |
| [optional] in nsIInterfaceRequestor | aWindowContext | |||
| ) |
Launches the application with the specified URI.
- Parameters:
-
aURI The URI to launch this application with aWindowContext
Currently only relevant to web-handler apps. If given, this represents the docshell to load the handler in and is passed through to nsIURILoader.openURI. If this parameter is null or not present, the web handler app implementation will attempt to find/create a place to load the handler and do so. As of this writing, it tries to load the web handler in a new window using nsIBrowserDOMWindow.openURI. In the future, it may attempt to have a more comprehensive strategy which could include handing off to the system default browser (bug 394479).
