Greetings,

Actually this is mainly to be able to map the protocol ssh://* directly to PuTTY. (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767914(v=vs.85).aspx)

Unfortunately, it doesn't work since PuTTY allow only the hostname or IP address and there's no concrete way to parse the parameter in "shell->open->command" from the classes registries.

Adding this feature would also allow the auto-recognition of the used protocol.

*Notice that this works only for telnet and not for other protocols.

Is it something that might be done in a future release?
Thank you!

Can't you use a wrapper program? Maybe a batch file can be used:

"C:\path\to\my\putty.bat" "%1"

where putty.bat strips away the ssh:// prefix and passes the remainder
to PuTTY.exe.

If it can't be a bat, make an executable.

Maybe more than one argument is possible here, so the executable can be generic:

"C:\path\to\my\url-util.exe" "%1" "C:\path\to\PuTTY.exe" "%p"

(Here, our url-util.exe supports %p for interpolating the path part of
the URL, without the proto://)

Why do you think this is a support forum for putty where you can
request features?

Because after searching for a while, it's the only place that could match as a good place for feature request, unless anyone can redirect me to a more appropriate place, I would be thankful!

I already thought about this but it would be more adequate to have it integrated in the PuTTY application. I feel it to be a little clumsy to not be flexible with protocols and only support this prefixing with telnet.
But thanks a lot for the suggestion, it's well appreciated!

First of all, *any* post about putty here is off-topic.

This isn't a newsgroup for putty or for SSH programs. It is a newsgroup
for terminals. It is regularly inundated with people talking about
putty in the wrong place which makes people think this is some sort
of newsgroup for putty or other SSH programs, but it isn't.

Second, I don't know what constitutes "searching for a while", but all
it takes is a couple mouse clicks in putty itself to find the right
place to ask for a feature request.

1. Run putty
2. Click About
3. Click View Web Site
4. The first sentence on that page reads:

"PuTTY is a free implementation of SSH and Telnet for Windows and
Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. It is
written and maintained primarily by Simon Tatham."

Where the authors name is a link to his home page with his email
address.

So it doesn't seem like you tried very hard.

The "xterm terminal emulator" part of PuTTY is quite topical here.

(Of course, how or whether PuTTY handles a ssh:// URL isn't related to
that area of functionality.)

I don't agree with almost any statement beginning with "this newsgroup
is inundated", since it obviously isn't.

I haven't seen a thread started in this newsgroup about much of anything
of late. The last thread that was started here was January 26, 2017.

I think you need a new dictionary if that's what you think "inundated"
means. Anyway, if you wish to see terminal discussion, start some.
