windows 8的应用程序协议问题

You're only required to name the protocol you want your application to handle ..

For over a decade, Internet Explorer has enabled developers to extend the browser with new URL protocol schemes. These protocols can be one of two types:

• Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols - COM objects that implement the IInternetProtocolRoot interface and return content to URLMon, usually for rendering content inside of Internet Explorer or Web Browser controls
• 
• Application Protocols - launch a program outside of Internet Explorer when invoked.
• 

以上的两类应该还是传统的additonal protocol

 

Updates for Windows 8

On Windows 8, Apps may use their manifest to register to handle protocols. Protocol activation APIs are more cleanly implemented in Metro-style apps-- a Metro-style app will always know when it is being activated to handle a command provided by a protocol invocation.

在win 8上，程序可以使用manifest来注册协议处理器，通过协议激活应用的方式也适合与Metro风格的程序。而且Metro风格的程序本来就有具备通过Protoco://command的方式来执行特定功能的特性，特别有利于Share某个特定界面/

如果要深入了解win8 Metro app的protocol定义，参考：http://tozon.info/blog/post/2011/10/06/Windows-8-Metro-declarations-Protocol.aspx
