Something like -this would work for the pre-population step: - -``` -waterfox --headless & waterfox=$! -sleep 2 -kill -HUP $waterfox -``` - -Then either blindly `cp` or use a small Python script to edit the -JSON. The snippet we want to add is: - -``` - "application/x-java-jnlp-file": { - "action": 2, - "extensions": [ - "jnlp" - ], - "handlers": [ - { - "name": "javaws", - "path": "/usr/bin/javaws" - } - ] - } -``` - -as another entry in the `mimeTypes` section. - -``` ->>> import json ->>> handlers = json.load(open("handlers.json")) ->>> handlers["mimeTypes"]["application/x-java-jnlp-file"] -{u'action': 2, u'extensions': [u'jnlp'], u'handlers': [{u'path': u'/usr/bin/javaws', u'name': u'javaws'}]} -``` +The hack for preconfiguring Waterfox's MIME handler to run +`/usr/bin/javaws` for `jnlp` files is particularly disgusting, but +none of the rest of this is particularly nice either.
