10.4: Create link email messages in Safari via URL
Authored by: boredzo on Aug 09, '05 11:01:59AM

running strings /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari includes these strings in a row:

  • network-diagnostics: requires a hostname; for example: network-diagnostics://localhost. passing localhost, however, stalled out the Network Diagnostics window for me — I'll leave figuring out a value that works as an exercise for the reader.
  • open-help-anchor: unknown, but probably related to Help Viewer (help books are HTML, and Help Viewer uses WebKit; I don't know why this appears in Safari itself).
  • white-list: unknown.
  • go-back: provide a number n as the hostname. Safari will go back n pages. sadly, there is no go-forward.
  • mail-link: for a description of this, scroll up.
  • itms: the scheme for the links you get from iTunes Music Store. if you change http: to itms:, the link will open iTMS directly rather than going to Safari. when you open one of the http: links, a JavaScript translates it to itms: and opens that.
  • webcal: ‘webcal:' followed by anything will open iCal to the Subscribe sheet, with the complete URL filled in already, waiting for you to just click OK.

Also opens iTunes, but - you?re right - as a Podcast.

BTW: There's a question mark icon linked to "open-help-anchor:ibrw1071" in Safari's "Failed to open page" -page.
