Hey all,
So I have MS Visual Studio 6.0 installed, and I skimmed through the file DEVSHL.DLL
(just search for it) and found the following string:
" Sorry, that has not been implemented yet! prospero: outlook: tn3270:
telnet: gopher: mailto: shttp: https: shell: wais: news: nntp: http:
file: afs: cid: mid: ftp: mk: "
Though some of these are obviously working already, I didn't take the time to type
each one of these into IE to see what happens, if anything, but maybe some of you
want to fux around with the non-implemented ones a bit?
I also remember seeing in MSHTML.DLL and/or other places these protocols that I'd
never heard of (as IE-supported at least), some of them stranger than others...:
snews:
newsrc:
rlogin:
wais:
url:
ldaps://
mic://
outday://
ms-its & its: (old, possibly related to mk:, but still weird --
see http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/linktochm.htm)
cdl:
..and soon there will me more to come -- see the article on DNA 2000 at
http://www.devx.com/upload/free/features/entdev/1999/11nov99/cv1199/cv1199.asp
It's old, but I *think* it might be relevant. Ignore if it isn't. And if the
"unimplemented" protocols are already causing us problems...

P.S. - The hello:// --> shell:// crash only worked on me once, and after a reboot
couldn't be replicated. The gopher://: crash works, though. Running Win98SE
4.10.2222A using IE 5.50.4522.1800 SP1 +Q297328,q283908,Q286045,q290108,Q286043.
