Custom URI Scheme and Skype links

Tags:

uri

skype

I registered my own URL scheme.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914.aspx

how do I create my own URL protocol? (e.g. so://...)

Link example: oce://10000

IE, firefox, windows explorer handle it fine. Id 10000 is opened correctly in my app.

Is it possible make this links clickable in Skype? I already find this unanswered support ticket http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-archive/Custom-URI-scheme-handlers/td-p/3627869

Maybe the easiest way to do this is simple redirect.

Use .htaccess and 301 redirect to desired location. That's the most easiest way. Then just let the server deal with everything.

Ideally, an application need to launch/execute URIs it doesn't support or recognize with the OS shell. Skype may be ignoring custom URIs as a security precaution. They don't want to launch unknown applications.
