"disk" URLs
Authored by: deejemon on Dec 29, '02 01:52:31PM

URLs which start with "disk://" automatically spawn Disk Copy to mount them over the internet. For an example, go check out WHAMB:

http://www.whamb.com

The download section offers you the option of downloading the disk image containing the software or mounting it over the internet. It seems that you just have to make sure it's an actual .dmg file (not .sit or .gz or any other compression applied), get the web download address, and replace "http" with "disk".

And all without the command-line.

Disk Copy doesn't seem to honor the Proxy settings in the Network System Preferences unfortunately, so this doesn't work for me behind our firewall, but it all should in theory.
