Href automate:// in web block

[P. Andreas Schmidt, IVE]

Hi Henrik,

I just came across the feature to send broadcasts from (some) browser by href to automate. That's great.  Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with the native web dialogue block. The website can not be shown and I get an "net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME" error. Even if I allow all the features. Is that a limitation of the browser (engine) used in AM? Would you consider adding this feature? Or am I doing something wrong, do you have to do something different here? I tried both automate:xxx and automate://xxx but same result...

Thanks!

I guess it's a limitation of Chrome, or the WebView (as used by the web dialog) that rely on it.

The automate: links/URLs aren't an official feature but i'll consider making the web dialog support it, if the Chrome WebView allows it.

Well, I tried it with Kiwi, that's based on chrome (or chromium?) and it worked. So if the web view also uses chrome then it's weird that it doesn't work... But I guess the chrome version that uses would be different/reduced and that's why...?

Either they've compiled their own version of Chrome, and can therefore implement whatever feature they wish, or the WebView do allow apps to override how custom URL are handled. As said, i'll consider implemented the latter.
