╥Get URL/Netscape╙ BBEdit/EasyView Extension
--------------------------------------------
Version 1.2 of February/March 95
This is a modification of Akif M. Eylers ╥Get URL╙
BBEdit/EasyView Extension. The only difference to his
version is that it calls Netscape for ╥gopher:╙ and
╥http:╙ strings instead of MacWeb.
In EasyView, you can just command-click inside an URL string
to activate Anarchie or Netscape. In BBEdit, you have to select
the string first, then choose ╥Get URL╙ from the Extensions menu.
Netscape doesn╒t open the desired connection directly. You have
to click the hypertext ╥Click here to get that URL╙. You can only
open one connection at a time; every "Get that URL.html"
overwrites the previous one. The reference in Netscape gets
actualized automatically.
Be sure to delete the original "Get URL" from the EasyView or
BBEdit extensions folder when using this version.
From the original documentation by Akif M. Eyler:
>This extension calls various Internet software to decode
>URL╒s. Usable from BBEdit and Easy View.
>
>Place the extension into your ╥BBEdit Extensions╙ and/or
>╥EV Extensions╙ folder. You don╒t need to restart the
>machine, this is not a system extension.
>
>╥Get URL╙ recognizes 4 URL strings currently:
>* ftp:
>* /info-mac/
>* gopher:
>* http:
>The first two go to Anarchie and the last two to MacWeb.
>
>Anarchie will fetch directly from an Info-Mac mirror, when
>the insertion point is on a file name that begins with
>╥/info-mac/╙, another good reason to read the digests with
>Easy View. (Set your I-M mirror in Anarchie Prefs)
>
>These strings and their behavior are configurable with ResEdit.
>You can add/delete/modify STR# resources.
>
>Full URL: Click within any URL that begins with ╥ftp:╙, ╥http:╙,
>╥gopher:╙, or ╥/info-mac/╙ and choose the extension from the
>menu. (It helps to assign a command key)
>
>Partial URL: If you need part of the URL, just select it first.
>Be sure your selection begins with one of strings above.
>
>I hope to make Easy View 2.6 to respond to option-click with
>this extension.

>This extension is dedicated to

>* Adam Engst, who wrote in TidBITS#211
>
>> I╒m looking forward to the day when you can select a URL
>> in TidBITS, hit a hot key or select an item from a menu,
>> and have Anarchie snag the file for you instantly.

>* Peter Lewis, who told me in a private message
>
>> Get yourself MacTCP and get on the network
>> -- life╒s too short for anything less.

>* and John Norstad, who invented option-click and told me
> how to do it easily.
