How do I register a protocol to work with my program?

Question

I'd like my program to be summoned when a browser tries to open a page with the protocol "tf2emp://xxxxx". The program will then have to download content based on the 5 digit number given in said protocol. My program is written in python, and I'm using wx for the gui.

Answer 1

Have a peek at Microsoft's page on the subject:

Answer 2

This page from Mozilla should help you register protocols for Mozilla Firefox on WIndows and Linux. Similar info exists for other browsers/platforms, Google is your friend. :)
