自定义协议 URL Protocol ?

系统允许开发者自定义 URL 协议，以便在特定应用程序或环境中启动自己。一般格式为 {协议名}://{启动参数}

例如:

• PotPlayer potplayer://
• 微信 weixin://
• Micerosoft VS Code vscode://

等等，在浏览器打开以上协议，就能启动他们。

但也有一些程序为了某些安全原因，没有开发自定义 URL 协议，例如 VLC 播放器。这时候就需要本项目。

本项目原理为中转，把自己注册成任意协议名，再选择目标程序，打开协议后会查找对应的目标程序，处理修正参数后把参数传递给目标程序并打开。

系统要求

Windows 10 1709 或以系统下 需要 .NET Framework 4.7.2

使用方法

• URLProtocol.exe 复制到你想要调用的程序目录
• 打开URLProtocol.exe 填写 协议名(不包含 "://")
• 点击 选择目标程序 选择你要调用的 exe 文件
• 点击 添加/更新

测试是否添加完毕

• 浏览器地址栏尝试打开你自定义的协议加上 :// (例如 test://)
• 是否正常打开目标程序

可以在 cat-catch 扩展里设置调用程序

测试

在调用协议时传入 --cat-catch-test 打开协议时会提示最终调用的字符串, 以及选择是否继续调用.

Custom URL Protocol ?

The system allows developers to create custom URL protocols to launch specific applications or environments. The general format is {protocol_name}://{launch_parameters}.

For example:

• PotPlayer: potplayer://
• WeChat: weixin://
• Microsoft VS Code: vscode://

And so on. Opening these protocols in a browser will launch the corresponding applications.

However, some programs do not provide custom URL protocols for security reasons, such as VLC Player. In these cases, this project becomes necessary.

The principle of this project is to act as an intermediary. It registers itself as any protocol name, then selects the target application. When a protocol is opened, it looks for the corresponding target application, processes and corrects the parameters, passes the parameters to the target application, and then launches it.

System requirements

Windows 10 1709 or later requires .NET Framework 4.7.2.

Usage

• Copy URLProtocol.exe to the directory of the program you want to call.
• Open URLProtocol.exe and fill in the protocol name (excluding "://").
• Click Select Target Program and choose the exe file you want to call.
• Click Add/Update.

Test whether the addition is successful:

• Try opening your custom protocol with :// in the browser address bar (e.g., test://).
• Check if the target program opens normally.

You can set up the calling program in the cat-catch extension.

Test

When calling the protocol, pass in --cat-catch-test to display the final call string and choose whether to continue the call.
