I’ve described the new URL scheme for Second Life and Opensim Grids and places in a previous article. Now with the latest update from subversion, the normal

python setup.py build ; su -c “python setup.py install”

is working under linux. Also I found how to run the URL handler directly from Firefox 3.0.5:

On my system, it is not sufficient, to simply define the protocol handlers in the about:config of Firefox.

network.protocol-handler.app.rezzme     (string) /usr/bin/rezzme.py
network.protocol-handler.app.rezzmes   (string) /usr/bin/rezzme.py

In addition to that, I had to define 2 boolean values, like:

network.protocol-handler.external.rezzme   (boolean) true
network.protocol-handler.external.rezzmes  (boolean) true

After that, the test URLs open fine by clicking. Please note, that the Urls need quite some time to open, while it works very fast from the commandline. Dunno why yet…

Update: The bad delay appears only when trying the example.net-link. Just ignore that^^
