With the latest svn co I was able to install rezzme the normal python way, and I also found out why the url handler wasn’t working from my firefox, see http://primforge.com/2009-01-22/rezzme2/

re “secondlife://” notation: that’s what we suggested to Linden Lab during the AWG discussions early last year. it turned out that they are using “secondlife://” to address the client itself!

sigh.

slurl was always a bad idea, sending someone to a javascript heavy website, whenever she clicks on a virtual world adress is like sending everybody searching for a postal address to Google Maps.

There still exists the “secondlife://” notation, but of course that’s a violation of URL namespace, since secondlife is not a protocol.

Cheers, Torrid P.S.: Where’s the source?
