Does Linux have a configurable HTTP/S scheme handler?
Before I go off an write something myself, many things we open from our apps are HTTP/S URLs and they go straight to the browser. On Android, it’s possible to assign apps to certain domains. I know I could write a script to do the same in linux, but my question is if there is a solution that already does this. For those who don’t know how, here’s a superuser page [https://superuser.com/questions/162092/how-can-i-register-a-custom-protocol-with-xdg] that explains how to handle custom protocols. This is what I use for now to open videos directly in mpv instead of a browser ~/bin/open-http.sh sh #!/usr/bin/env bash set -eu # install with `xdg-mime default http-handler.desktop x-scheme-handler/http` # `xdg-mime default http-handler.desktop x-scheme-handler/https` # is https and supported by yt-dlp if [[ "$1" == "https://"* ]] && yt-dlp --simulate "$1" ; then exec mpv "$1" else librewolf "$1" fi http-handler.desktop desktop [Desktop Entry] Comment= Exec=~/bin/open-http.sh %u MimeType=x-scheme-handler/https; Name=HTTP Scheme Handler NoDisplay=false Path= PrefersNonDefaultGPU=false StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= A GUI or just config file would be great.
