URL Scheme Handled by a Rev Application

[Andres Martinez]

Hello again,

With more google search I found the following...

------------------------------------------
Here is what you need to do to register your app for a custom URL  
scheme (for the example we will use a "myapp" scheme).
1) In your Info.plist, add a new entry for CFBundleURLTypes?:

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
			<string>MyApp's URL</string>
			<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
			<array>
				<string>myapp</string>
			</array>
		</dict>
	</array>
2) Somewhere in your application's startup code (e.g. init), add this  
code:

- (void)registerMyApp
{
	[[NSAppleEventManager sharedAppleEventManager] setEventHandler:self  
andSelector:@selector(getUrl:withReplyEvent:)  
forEventClass:kInternetEventClass andEventID:kAEGetURL];
}

- (void)getUrl:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)event withReplyEvent: 
(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)replyEvent
{
	NSString *url = [[event paramDescriptorForKeyword:keyDirectObject]  
stringValue];
	// now you can create an NSURL and grab the necessary parts
}
------------------------------------------

Now, I need to know how can I run such code from within my Rev app.
