ISchemeRegistrar Interface

Register a custom scheme. This method should not be called for the built-in HTTP, HTTPS, FILE, FTP, ABOUT and DATA schemes. If isStandard is true the scheme will be treated as a standard scheme. Standard schemes are subject to URL canonicalization and parsing rules as defined in the Common Internet Scheme Syntax RFC 1738 Section 3.1 available at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt In particular, the syntax for standard scheme URLs must be of the form:

              [scheme]://[username]:[password]@[host]:[port]/[url-path]
             

Standard scheme URLs must have a host component that is a fully qualified domain name as defined in Section 3.5 of RFC 1034 [13] and Section 2.1 of RFC 1123. These URLs will be canonicalized to "scheme://host/path" in the simplest case and "scheme://username:password@host:port/path" in the most explicit case. For example, "scheme:host/path" and "scheme:///host/path" will both be canonicalized to "scheme://host/path". The origin of a standard scheme URL is the combination of scheme, host and port (i.e., "scheme://host:port" in the most explicit case). For non-standard scheme URLs only the "scheme:" component is parsed and canonicalized. The remainder of the URL will be passed to the handler as-is. For example, "scheme:///some%20text" will remain the same. Non-standard scheme URLs cannot be used as a target for form submission. This function may be called on any thread. It should only be called once per unique schemeName value. If schemeName is already registered or if an error occurs this method will return false.
