Protocol Handlers

Protocol handlers allow you to trigger scripts when custom protocols are executed. Protocols can be executed locally and also from webpages as links.

Define a Protocol Handle

You can define protocol handlers in the protocolHandlers.ps1 file using the New-PSUProtocolHandler cmdlet. You will need to define the protocol name and script to execute.

To execute the protocol handler, you could include the following HTML tag in a web page.

Accessing URI Data

When a script is executed, you will receive the $ProtocolUri parameter. It will include the full URI that was invoked. For example, a script could take the URI and show a page.
