iphone - iOS Safari File Type Interception (Start My App If User Clicks A Link To My FileType) -

i build iphone application can start itself, should user click on file of extention within safari.

i'm asking here because sounds me tall order, , im guessing may struggle find answer. open alternate suggestions such perhaps making utilize of uiwebview component?

an illustration scenario is: 1) user installs app, , in settings specifies "*.rss" (any .rss file) 2) user opens safari, clicks on file who's extention .rss 3) app opens, , qualified nsurl file

any advice appreciated, give thanks you...

i recommend having read of apple's official documentation on subject

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/filemanagement/conceptual/documentinteraction_topicsforios/articles/registeringthefiletypesyourappsupports.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/tp40010411-sw1

you register type of files app can process , other apps such safari can hand off processing of file app.
