;;
;; Intercept calls from emacsclient to trigger custom actions.
;;
;; This is done by advising `server-visit-files' to scan the list of filenames
;; for `org-protocol-the-protocol' and sub-protocols defined in
;; `org-protocol-protocol-alist' and `org-protocol-protocol-alist-default'.
;;
;; Any application that supports calling external programs with an URL
;; as argument could use this functionality.  For example, you can
;; configure bookmarks in your web browser to send a link to the
;; current page to Org and create a note from it using `org-capture'.
;; See Info node `(org) Protocols' for more information.
;;
;;
;; Usage:
;; ------
;;
;;   1.) Add this to your init file (.emacs probably):
;;
;;       (require 'org-protocol)
;;
;;   2.) Ensure emacs-server is up and running.
;;   3.) Try this from the command line (adjust the URL as needed):
;;
;;       $ emacsclient \
;;         "org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title"
;;
;;   4.) Optionally, add custom sub-protocols and handlers:
;;
;;       (setq org-protocol-protocol-alist
;;             '(("my-protocol"
;;                :protocol "my-protocol"
;;                :function my-protocol-handler-function)))
;;
;;       A "sub-protocol" will be found in URLs like this:
;;
;;           org-protocol://sub-protocol?key=val&key2=val2
;;
;; If it works, you can now setup other applications for using this feature.
;;
;;
;; Firefox users follow the steps documented on
;; https://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol, Opera setup is
;; described here: http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/535/
;;
;; See also: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html
;;
;; Documentation
;; -------------
;;
;; org-protocol.el comes with and installs handlers to open sources of published
;; online content, store and insert the browser's URLs and cite online content
;; by clicking on a bookmark in Firefox, Opera and probably other browsers and
;; applications:
;;
;;   * `org-protocol-open-source' uses the sub-protocol \"open-source\" and maps
;;     URLs to local filenames defined in `org-protocol-project-alist'.
;;
;;   * `org-protocol-store-link' stores an Org link (if Org is present) and
;;     pushes the browsers URL to the `kill-ring' for yanking.  This handler is
;;     triggered through the sub-protocol \"store-link\".
;;
;;   * Call `org-protocol-capture' by using the sub-protocol \"capture\".  If
;;     Org is loaded, Emacs will pop-up a capture buffer and fill the
;;     template with the data provided.  I.e. the browser's URL is inserted as an
;;     Org-link of which the page title will be the description part.  If text
;;     was select in the browser, that text will be the body of the entry.
;;
;; You may use the same bookmark URL for all those standard handlers and just
;; adjust the sub-protocol used:
;;
;;     javascript:location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol?'+
;;           new URLSearchParams({
;;                 url: location.href,
;;                 title: document.title,
;;                 body: window.getSelection()})
;;
;; Alternatively use the following expression that encodes space as \"%20\"
;; instead of \"+\", so it is compatible with Org versions from 9.0 to 9.4:
;;
;;     location.href='org-protocol://sub-protocol?url='+
;;           encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+
;;           encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&body='+
;;           encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
;;
;; The handler for the sub-protocol \"capture\" detects an optional template
;; char that, if present, triggers the use of a special template.
;; Example:
;;
;;     location.href='org-protocol://capture?'+
;;           new URLSearchParams({template:'x', /* ... */})
;;
;; or
;;
;;     location.href='org-protocol://capture?template=x'+ ...
;;
;;  uses template ?x.
;;
;; Note that using double slashes is optional from org-protocol.el's point of
;; view because emacsclient squashes the slashes to one.

Each element of this list must be of the form:

where module-name is an arbitrary name.  All the values are strings.

Possible properties are:

  :online-suffix     - the suffix to strip from the published URLs
  :working-suffix    - the replacement for online-suffix
  :base-url          - the base URL, e.g. https://www.example.com/project/
                       Last slash required.
  :working-directory - the local working directory.  This is what
                       base-url will be replaced with.
  :redirects         - A list of cons cells, each of which maps a
                       regular expression to match to a path relative
                       to `:working-directory'.

          :working-suffix \".org\"

          :working-suffix \".org\"
          :base-url \"http://localhost/org/\"
          :working-directory \"/home/user/org/\"
          :rewrites ((\"org/?$\" . \"index.php\")))

   The :rewrites line of \"localhost org-notes\" entry tells
   `org-protocol-open-source' to open /home/user/org/index.php,
   if the URL cannot be mapped to an existing file, and ends with
   either \"org\" or \"org/\".  The \"GNU emacs OpenGrok\" entry
   does not include any suffix properties, allowing local source
   file to be opened as found by OpenGrok.

(defcustom org-protocol-protocol-alist nil
  "Register custom handlers for org-protocol.

Each element of this list must be of the form:

  (module-name :protocol protocol :function func :kill-client nil)

protocol - protocol to detect in a filename without trailing
           colon and slashes.  See rfc1738 section 2.1 for more
           on this.  If you define a protocol \"my-protocol\",
           `org-protocol-check-filename-for-protocol' will search
           filenames for \"org-protocol:/my-protocol\" and
           trigger your action for every match.  `org-protocol'
           is defined in `org-protocol-the-protocol'.  Double and
           triple slashes are compressed to one by emacsclient.

function - function that handles requests with protocol and takes
           one argument.  If a new-style link (key=val&key2=val2)
           is given, the argument will be a property list with
           the values from the link.  If an old-style link is
           given (val1/val2), the argument will be the filename
           with all protocols stripped.

           If the function returns nil, emacsclient and -server
           do nothing.  Any non-nil return value is considered a
           valid filename and thus passed to the server.

           `org-protocol.el' provides some support for handling
           old-style filenames, if you follow the conventions
           used for the standard handlers in
           `org-protocol-protocol-alist-default'.  See
           `org-protocol-parse-parameters'.

kill-client - If t, kill the client immediately, once the sub-protocol is
           detected.  This is necessary for actions that can be interrupted by
           `C-g' to avoid dangling emacsclients.  Note that all other command
           line arguments but the this one will be discarded.  Greedy handlers
           still receive the whole list of arguments though.

Here is an example:

  (setq org-protocol-protocol-alist
      \\='((\"my-protocol\"
         :protocol \"my-protocol\"
         :function my-protocol-handler-function)

  "Check if `org-protocol-the-protocol' and a valid protocol are used in FNAME.
Sub-protocols are registered in `org-protocol-protocol-alist' and
`org-protocol-protocol-alist-default'.  This is how the matching is done:

  (string-match \"protocol:/+sub-protocol\\\\(://\\\\|\\\\?\\\\)\" ...)

protocol and sub-protocol are regexp-quoted.

Old-style links such as \"protocol://sub-protocol://param1/param2\" are
also recognized.

If a matching protocol is found, the protocol is stripped from
FNAME and the result is passed to the protocol function as the
first parameter.  The second parameter will be non-nil if FNAME
uses key=val&key2=val2-type arguments, or nil if FNAME uses
val/val2-type arguments.  If the function returns nil, the
filename is removed from the list of filenames passed from
emacsclient to the server.  If the function returns a non-nil
value, that value is passed to the server as filename.

If the handler function is greedy, RESTOFFILES will also be passed to it.

CLIENT is ignored."
