Hi,

im suggesting the implementation of an URI scheme like eve://

so stuff like this could be done:
eve://openCharacter(1859175334)
eve://showInfo(12345)
eve://showMap(1234566789)
... etc see https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/IGB_Javascript_Methods

This would be a big step to remove the IGB and allow the creation of useful modern javascript based eg. AngularJS and MeteorJS apps for eve.

Special endpoints that required trust before can be secured by either an EVE SSO permission, a special api access mask or by a special token that the user can create ingame and tell the site.

eve://editMember(apikeyID, hash(apikeyID+vCode), 1859175334)
eve://editMember(sometokenyo, 1859175334)

For clarification: I want the eve client to listen to that URI scheme, so any external program can call it.
For non techs: You can have a link in your external Browser like Chrome that opens an item ingame.

One of the goals before removing the IGB is to allow apps to push that kind of thing through CREST.

The problem with a URI handler is that would only work with a single client. Once you have multiple clients running, which one handles that request?

Through CREST, the app would know which character you're authenticated with, and would be able to push directly to that client.
