Let's say I made a program, and I want to access it from out of a webbrowser.

Let's say I have a website. In my site, I put an

<a href="myProgram://someParameter">Click here to open my program using this parameters</a>

I know this is possible because I saw other tools using it. Does this have any specific name?

My program need to "know" how to deal with this incoming parameters? What do I do?

    Sorry, I'm not opening a random link to see what you mean. Can you please explain more? Are you saying you want a program that you've written to be opened *and executed* on a client machine via a link? – freefaller Jul 19 '12 at 15:46

I believe what you are talking about is a magnet link. A lot of torrent websites use them to start downloads.
