intranet use / web use
Authored by: Yelsmek on Feb 14, '03 06:15:25PM

Apple's evidently trying to create useful (or use a existing) protcols like http, file, ftp, telnet, webcal, ical, ichat, addressbook... in order to tell the browser how to handle the data (either display or indicate the helper app). They did this with 'webcal' to allow you to subscribe to online iCalendars: it starts iCal and subscribes you to the ".ics" file.

Pretty useful idea.
