How to associate Firefox and mldonkey by using script?
 

hi, all !

I followed the info from internet trying to associate Firefox and mldonkey after I installed mldonkey,but it did't work, and there is kind of a add-on , but version seems lower for current firefox. the problem bother me most is why this script doesn't work in my system?

$ cat submit
#!/bin/bash
echo dllink $* | nc -q 1 127.0.0.1 4000

I am sure i did "about:config" of firefox things right.

actually, i run the submit in terminal , got the follow mesgs:

-------
./submit ed2k://|file|%E5%B0%B1%E6%98%AF%E8%BF%99%E6%A0%B7.This.Is.It.2009.DVD-RMVB-CD1-%E4%BA%BA%E4%BA%BA%E5%BD%B1%E8%A7%86%E5%8E%9F%E5%88%9B%E7%BF%BB%E8%AF%91%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E5%AD%97% E5%B9%95.rmvb|265490680|2d7f56859ef01bf5810003c13631022c|h=bhqd3uq4yuuweadwi5od2fvwpwfk2tis|/

Hello,

I don't understand what your submit script is made for,anyway, it seems that the port is incorrect it should be 127.0.0.1:4080.
May be it helps.

@colonna, thanks for the response!

I tried your way, it didn't work too, i guess it's not the script. anyway,it doesn't affect using mldonkey , just want to figure it out

What do you mean "associate"? Like call another program from Firefox? Can't you just edit your preferences in Firefox?

Could you explain what exactly you want to do ?
Best.

Well I tried the "nc" command (I did not know!) with this sequence :

sudo nc -p 1 127.0.0.1 4000

^
p not q

As you see it works and this works too :
cat ml.inp
s logic
d 570
q

sudo nc -p 1 127.0.0.1 4000 < ml.inp

I think I missed something. Could you tell me ?

sorry i didn't speak my problem clearly !

what i want to do is that the files of ed2k can be added in mldonkey queue automatically when i click on a ed2k link in any site page , instead of coping that ed2k link location and pasting in mldonkey software , which is exactly what i am doing for downloading a ed2k file.

the info i followed is like these steps:
1. tpye 'about:config' in the browser's address location
2. create a new boolean ,which named 'network.protocol-handler.external.ed2k' with the value 'true'
3. create a new string named 'network.protocol-handler.app.ed2k, with the value '/home/username/.mldonkey/submit'
4. create a script named submit under the directory .mldonkey
after all of above, files with the ed2k link in the web should be added in queue of mldonkey when i click on thoese ed2k link

well , i did all of thoese, and it doesn't work.that's my issue

Sorry, I have no idea to help you doing that kind of procedure.

If you want to do what I think you want to do, then don't bother writing a script. Just install this:

Don't worry. It's safe. I use it myself.

@hedron

thanks!I'll give it a try .
