Is that protocol supported? ap Mark,

I can’t seem to open chrome urls, like for example chrome://fireftp/content/fireftp.xul. Is that protocol supported?

I have problems using WebRunner inside a local network with a proxy that requires authentication. Any site inside the local network works ok... ¿any sugestions?

Although the svn trunk has a fix for the same problem that my patch addressed - I have developed my version further. I discovered that my original patch only fixed documents, however, spreadsheets are served from spreadsheets.google.com, a domain that doesn't match docs.google.com... I fixed this by doing a fuzzy match on the domain suffix. I'm not sure if my fix is reliable but it seems to work for google services. I also changed the behavior to rewrite link targets to "_top" in order to prevent new windows from opening. I'm not sure if others would find this to be desirable but I like to avoid having a bunch of windows open. Unfortunately, not completely fixed.

I added a comparison to override this behavior for links within the same domain. I simply replace the target attribute with "_top" and skip the external protocol handler instead. I don't know if this will interfere with other sites but it fixes a problem that has been bugging me for a long time. Where should I send the patch for consideration? @mark: I have made a patch to webrunner that enables docs.google.com to work better – it seems that any link opened with a target attribute that is external (e.g. new window/tab or _blank, etc) causes an external browser to open.

It may not be the optimal way to do what you want but it sure is a powerful and novel setup. @pyg: you might want to look into POW – the XULRunner-based webserver – that makes it possible to include webrunner and a simple web server on a usb key.

My problem is that I just can't succeed in launching a webapp with some local file (think about webrunner on a usb stick launching an index.html file). I tried different combinations for "uri=" parameter, but it always open mozilla homepage... Is it possible to launch webrunner with a local html file instead of an online website ?

Finkle, great idea! Also, good suggestions in this comment thread. I especially like add-on support, since there already are loads of extensions tailored at webservices, and others just do what people need (like proxy support, for example). I look forward to seeing Webrunner mature! Chapeau, mr. Finkle, great idea! Also, good suggestions in this comment thread.
