Firefox 2 beta has a "Read Feed in this reader" feature. My Yahoo, Bloglines and Google Reader are shipped by default. It seems, the only needed options are the following for all three of them:
pref("browser.contentHandlers.types.0.title", "Bloglines");
pref("browser.contentHandlers.types.0.uri", "http://www.bloglines.com/login?r=/sub/%s");
pref("browser.contentHandlers.types.0.type", "application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed");
pref("browser.contentHandlers.types.1.title", "iGoogle/Google Reader");
pref("browser.contentHandlers.types.1.uri", "http://fusion.google.com/add?feedurl=%s");
pref("browser.contentHandlers.types.1.type", "application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed");
pref("browser.contentHandlers.types.2.title", "My Yahoo");
pref("browser.contentHandlers.types.2.uri", "http://add.my.yahoo.com/rss?url=%s");
pref("browser.contentHandlers.types.2.type", "application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed");
Is there any URL that'd allow using Alesti in this context?
Nikolai, that would be "http://www.alesti.org/?subscribe-feed=%s".
I haven't played with Firefox v2 beta so far. Because of this it would be great if you could check out if this works. There could be a problem if the URL which substitutes %s is not escaped by Firefox, especially if it contains characters like "&".

Somehow Alesti is not available at the moment, but the URLs look like this:
http://www.alesti.org/?subscribe-feed=h … rmat%3Drss
So it seems completely escaped, which should then work ok, I guess.
Let's try it again, without forum's URL parser....
http://www.alesti.org/?subscribe-feed=http%3A%2F%2Ftrac.gajim.org%2Ftimeline%3Fmilestone%3Don%26ticket%3Don%26changeset%3Don%26wiki%3Don%26max%3D50%26daysback%3D90%26format%3Drss
Works like it should! I've had no problems with Alesti and Firefox2 so far and "read feed using Alesti" works too!

Great! Maybe someone here, who is more involved in the development of Firefox v2 than me, could suggest them to include Alesti in their coming "Read Feed in this reader" feature?

Alesti could have a link to add Alesti to the list of "feed readers" with this piece of javascript:
navigator.registerContentHandler("application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed","http://www.alesti.org/?subscribe-feed=%s","Alesti");FF security only allows web sites to register themselves, so I can't do it from a web page I write myself or by typing it directly into the URL bar (prepended with "javascript:", of course).
Maybe sneak it into an RSS feed or insert it using GreaseMonkey?
