- * The uri dispatcher is responsible for taking uri's, determining

- * handler.
- *
- * When you encounter a url you want to open, you typically call
- * openURI, passing it the content listener for the window the uri is
- * originating from. The uri dispatcher opens the url to discover the
- * content type. It then gives the content listener first crack at
- * handling the content. If it doesn't want it, the dispatcher tries
- * to hand it off one of the registered content listeners. This allows
- * running applications the chance to jump in and handle the content.
- *
- * If that also fails, then the uri dispatcher goes to the registry
- * looking for the preferred content handler for the content type
- * of the uri. The content handler may create an app instance
- * or it may hand the contents off to a platform specific plugin
- * or helper app. Or it may hand the url off to an OS registered
- * application.
