Is it possible to write mime filters or protocol handlers in Visual Basic?
What I really want to happen is this:
1.
a webserver returns data to IE in a new mime format e.g. text/eight
2.
ie passes the data out to my vb program which decodes the data and sends it back to Explorer in a suitable format.
From what I can gather I have two options.
a. write a new protocol
b. write a new mime filter.
The latter seems to be the best choice but I can't find a decent set of instructions for writing these filters.
I'd be very grateful if someone could help me out here. If anyone has source code for a simple mime filter that I could borrow, that'd be even better.
Kind regards,
Eight
