Mailto Handler register don't work
« on: January 15, 2020, 09:24:19 PM »
Hello,
In France many people use the Rouncube version of the OVH company at : https://mail.ovh.net/roundcube   ( V 1.4.2)
The link to register the protocol handler does not work. (preferences menu - user interface)
The code source is :
<a href="#" id="mailtoprotohandler">Register protocol handler for mailto: links</a><span class="mailtoprotohandler-status"></span>
which does nothing ...
when we should find something like:
<script type="text/javascript">
  navigator.registerProtocolHandler("mailto", "https://mail.ovh.net/roundcube/?_task=mail&_action=compose&_to=%s", "Roundcube mail");
</script>
I would like to know if this functionality is implemented or if the supplier (OVH) has disabled it.
Thank's
GZ

The function is disabled when not supported by the browser. You can find information about browser support here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler#Browser_compatibility. Note: Modern browsers only support this function when using HTTPS.
Roundcube Plugins: Contextmenu, SpamAssassin Prefs, and moreā€¦

Ok thank you for the answer. I'm on vacation with an old computer.
I will try in the office with the latest version of Firefox.
