New issue 413236 by 69kjw...@gmail.com: ChromeHTML URL Protocol Handler
does not work as expected
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=413236

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.62 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. IN IE8, IE10, run dialog, or in an Office doc, Outlook, create a
hyperlink/type in an address of ChromeHTML://www.bbc.co.uk
2. Press enter or launch the hyperlink
3. Chrome will open but without opening the passed web page

What is the expected behavior?
I would expect chrome to open with the passed web address in a new tab. It
should work form all applications and should not require any characters
which are disallowed in web addresses.

What went wrong?
Chrome opens but at the home page or new tab page (whichever is set as the
default.

Did this work before? N/A

Chrome version: 29.0.1547.62 Channel: stable
OS Version: Windows 7/Windows XP
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 11.8 r800

I have removed the quotes around the passed parameter in the Protocol
Handler command registry entry, and this enables it to work in IE, Run
dialog, Office docs if you use the following format (note the space after
//:
ChromeHTML:// www.bbc.co.uk
This does not work in Outlook as Outlook.

The registry now looks like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ChromeHTML]
@="Chrome HTML Document"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ChromeHTML\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe,0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ChromeHTML\shell]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ChromeHTML\shell\open]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" -- %1"

The issue also occurs in Chrome v31.

I am using Chrome build Version 40.0.2214.115 m (64-bit) on Windows 7 and
it is still broken. Please let me know when this is fixed as I have a
project that requires opening a URL in Chrome and this would be

This is still broken in version 46. Do you think it will be fixed?

I will help us transition a web application off of IE7 & 8 to Chrome.
