Hi Folks,
I've got an asynchronous pluggable protocol (APP) handler implemented (based on the excellent work here: http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/AspxProtocol.asp) that works absolutely perfectly from a normal IE window.
HOWEVER, when accessed from a browser embedded in another application, it doesn't seem to work at all. I can turn on a fair amount of logging and when I access the URL from a normal IE window I see all the logs I would expect to see as the handler is instantiated, etc. NONE of that happens when accessing a custom URL from the embedded browser so something fundamental is clearly going wrong.
Just to prove to myself that a normally registered (in HKCR/PROTOCOLS/handler) but non-standard APP works from the embedded browser, I tried the skype4com APP (skype4com:openzonesettings) from the embedded browser (the embedding application knows nothing about skype) and that works, so it would seem to not be something the embedded browser is preventing -- I conclude that I'm doing something wrong but have no idea how to proceed.
As near as I can tell, my APP is doing all the right things, registering the CLSID in HKCR/PROTOCOLS/qbwc, CLSID and ProgID are properly registered. The only real difference between the skype4com protocol and mine are that the skype4com seems to be implemented in C++ and mine is implemented in C# and therefore works through COM/.NET interop (mscoree.dll) but I would expect that kind of difference to cause a problem for the non-embedded case as well if it's going to cause a problem.
Suggestions gratefully received!
