[Bug 934239] Re: Mumble install does not register mumble:// URL handler with the system/firefox

[pataquets]

** Description changed:

- Mumble can handle URL's in the form "mumble://... ", this protocol type
- is registered on Windows, and some sites use a web link to open mumble
- and connect to their servers.  I have verified that Mumble on Ubuntu can
- accept these URL's but the browser does not know what binary to pass
- them to.
+ [Original report]
+ Mumble can handle URL's in the form "mumble://... ", this protocol type is registered on Windows, and some sites use a web link to open mumble and connect to their servers.  I have verified that Mumble on Ubuntu can accept these URL's but the browser does not know what binary to pass them to.
  
  I have met at least one user who believed that Mumble did not work on
  Ubuntu becuase he was unable to click on the voice chat link on a
  website.
  
  This is a trivial fix, but certainly seems worthwhile.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Launch a mumble:// test URL from the shell:
+ 
+  $ xdg-open mumble://your-testing-mumble-server.com
+ 
+ xdg-open will complain about not knowing how to handle the URL. After
+ the patch, it will launch mumble and try to connect to the requested
+ server.
