[webkit-help] IWebDocumentView and IWebDocumentRepresentation for Windows Apple Build -> Implementing url handler for CFNetwork

[Sumedh]

Hi,

Thanks Roben for clearing the concept.

We want to provide custom data and then let webkit render it on the view. I
guess we are using CFNetwork dll for networking. Can you guys please guide
me how to implement url handler for custom scheme. It will be great help, if
you direct me somewhere.

Dhnayawaad(Thanks)
