Embodiment Construction

[0011] Embodiments are now described with reference to the drawings in which like numerals represent like elements. specifically, figure 1 and the accompanying discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of suitable computing environments in which various embodiments may be implemented.

[0012] Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, and other types of structures that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Other computer system configurations may also be used, including handheld devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. Distributed computing environments can also be used where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage...

Abstract

The invention relates to template and server content download using protocol handlers. A protocol handler that is registered to handle URLs that follow a protocol that is associated with a client application initiates content downloads from a network location. When a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is selected from a browser, the protocol handler passes the URL to the client application registered to handle the protocol. The client application parses the URL and determines the actions to perform based on the content identified in the URL. A client application may perform many different actions, such as: downloading the identified content; downloading any additional content (e.g. related files) associated with the identified content; place the downloaded content on a clipboard; automatically display downloaded content within a display; and the like. When the application is not installed on the client machine, information may be provided to the user to assist in interacting with the content identified by the URL.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to content downloading, particularly content downloading using protocol handlers. Background technique [0002] Users can use a web browser to access and view many types of electronic documents. However, for certain types of electronic documents, web browsers cannot render these documents without the use of additional software. For example, "plug-in" programs can sometimes be used in conjunction with a Web browser to allow viewing of electronic documents that are not natively supported by Web browsers. However, these plug-ins have been developed for use with specific brands of web browsers. Not only does the user need to install the correct plug-in to view non-native content, but the plug-in must have been developed for the type of web browser the user is using. Therefore, plug-ins may not be available or compatible with the web browser application used by the user. Contents of the invention [0003] This Summary is provi...
