Hello all long time no post.
Well This question isnt so much of an mIRC question but its mainly to do with the irc:// link protocol. Iv been working with protocols for about 3 days trying to figure out how to make one. Well I figured it out but im running into 2 small issues that I cant get around. So I come here to ask you guys since irc:// is the only one that I could think of off hand.
First problem im having is files that run with my program. For example I have a .dat file that must be run with my exe. When I write up a fast program in VB6 and have it make the protocol in registry and I type test:// in the web browser I get a "could not find test.dat file" I dont know how to include this file or the whole folder in which the program is in stalled in.
second problem im having is commands after the protocol. For example I want the exe to run and connect to localhost on port 1234. So I would type this in <a href="test://127.0.0.1:1234" target="_blank">test://127.0.0.1:1234</a> but as you probly already guessed it I dont have the %1 command in the registry and I dont know how exactly to do it.
I noticed mIRC has commands (IE. <a href="irc://serverblabla.com/help)" target="_blank">irc://serverblabla.com/help)</a> would open mIRC connect you to the server and auto join help channel. This is what im tyring to get at.
Anyway anyone know how I can go about fixing these 2 small bugs? I know this isnt a VB6 board but if people would like to see source I would be more then happy to send it to you via e-mail for help.
