Urgent! - Registering a URL Handler for a RunRev Application

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Dave,

If the server only returns 0 or 1, you'll have to have a user base of  
tens of thousands for the server to run into performance issues.  
Probably, the problem won't be data traffic but requests for  
connections queueing up at the port.

The ChatRev server and its clients are continuously sending pings and  
pongs and we're chatting at the same time, without any problems.

To make your app register URLs, you should probably edit the pList of  
your standalone as described at Cocoadev.com and handle AppleEvents in  
a simple AppleEvent handler in your mainstack.
