copied!<p>You can register a component that implements the <code>nsIRUIContentListener</code> interface with the category manager. The category is <code>external-uricontentlisteners</code>. The entry is the MIME type that you want to register. The value is your component's contract ID.</p> <p>Alternatively it is possible to register a component directly with the URI listener but this is only useful if your are already loading your component at startup.</p> <p>When your user clicks on a link to a document served with that MIME type (and there are no installed plugins already handling that type) then your component will be created. One of the <code>isPreferred</code> or <code>canHandleContent</code> methods will be called; you should verify that the content type is the one you want and then return true. Your <code>doContent</code> method will then be called and you can use this to open a window to handle the request. You should return true to indicate that you are not actually providing content for the existing window.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>If you want to read the document and output another document in-place, you need to register a stream converter instead. This is done by registering a component that implements the <code>nsIStreamConverter</code> interface hierarchy with the contract ID <code>@mozilla.org/streamconv;1?from=<MIME>&to=<MIME></code>. I'm not 100% sure but you may have to set the <code>to</code> to be <code>*/*</code> and then your <code>GetContentType</code> method should return the actual content type you provide. Your <code>asyncConvertData</code> method will then be passed the destination stream listener. Data will be made available to you via the base <code>nsIStreamListener</code> interface and you can then make the converted data available to the destination stream.</p>
