Configuring Netscape Navigator for ULC

Netscape Navigator (3.0 and 4.0) and Communicator enable you to pick helper applications based on the MIME type of the file they receive.

  1. Start Navigator and load the HTTP server home page (the server must be running; see Using the sample ULC HTTP server).
  2. On the home page under Running as Helper, click the Java Hello World link; a dialog appears.
  3. Click the Pick App button; a dialog appears. Pick the UlcUI.exe application in the ULC Runtime directory by using the Browse button as shown here:
    Navigator Configure External Viewer
  4. Click OK; the association between the application/x-ulc MIME type and the UlcUI.exe application is registered with the browser (and the UI Server Console appears). You can check the association or change it later by going to the Applications category in Navigator's preference settings.

You are now ready to use the ULC HTTP Server page for starting and controlling sample applications. You can also add links to start your own applications.
