There's nothing wrong with using Launch Services still. Jut because
it's a C API, doesn't mean it's Carbon and "bad." NSWorkspace is just
an Obj-C wrapper round some of LaunchServices.

Greetings,
I'm new to Cocoa, and helping to port a carbon app to cocoa.
In particular, I want to be able to open an arbitrary URL in the
default
internet browser, regardless of whether the URL refers to a local
file that
normally opens in some other app (e.g. a jpeg image that opens in
Preview),
or is a remote http: URL.
How can I (1) identify the App which constitutes user's default
browser, and
(2) tell this App to open a specified URL?
[NSWorkspace openURL:] uses the default app for the URL, not
necessarily a
browser.
The Carbon solution to this involved LSGetApplicationForURL(); I
could use
[NSWorkspace getInfoForFile: application: type:]
but finding the default app for (say) an .html file is not the same
as the
default for an http: URL (I don't want to open all URLs in someone's
HTML
editor).
THanks,
Nathaniel
