I posted this question already in the Win 8.1 Preview forum, but I was referred here so I am posting here as well.
I have hundreds of HTML pages that are a part of the data that was used in an iOS application we developed, and I'm having trouble getting the same behavior with Windows 8.1's WebView. I set up links that have a custom scheme so that I can distinguish them when they came as part of the navigation callbacks. However, when I click one of the links in Windows 8.1, it just goes straight to the "No application is installed to handle this scheme" window without firing any of the navigation events. For regular HTTP links, the events fire as expected. I want to catch these special links and process them. I'm not in a position to modify these HTML pages, because there are so many of them. Will Windows ignore any scheme that it does not recognize by design? Or is this something that was overlooked?
