Starting from internet browser

pvbrowser may be started from a link on a internet page. All you have to do is write a link like shown.

Figure 7.1: Reference to pvbrowser from HTML
<a href="pv://hostname:5050"> pvbrowser on pv://hostname:5050 </a>

SetupRegistry.exe will define registry keys for calling pvbrowser when the protocol "pv" occures in a href statement.

On Linux you have to do this for each internet browser. The installation script will do it for konqueror. For galeon you have to do it manually in the control center. Associate protocol "pv" with application "processview". Unfortunately Mozilla lacks such a feature.

Figure 7.2: This is how the protocol pv is defined for konqueror
cat /opt/kde3/share/services/pvbrowser.protocol
[Protocol]
exec=processview %u
protocol=pv
input=none
output=none
helper=true
listing=false
reading=true
writing=true
makedir=false
deleting=false
