The software GoToMeeting triggers some unusual links to be opened (probably intended for their browse plugin): something like citrixcdn:// (when I'm connecting, I never have the time to take sufficient note of it). The only way to make the page load is to (temporarily) allow all connections. This is fine, but a bit a pain. Is there any way to work with "custom protocols" like these?

Other tickets currently exist mentioning the same problem.
A general wording for the feature request would be along the lines of
"need RP option to allow URIs reflecting an unknown scheme"

Better would be ability to add/enumerate additional schemes which are auto-allowed when RP is operating in defaultDeny mode.

@fouvry @stewie version 1.0.beta8 contains a workaround against this bug, so I close this issue. For details take a look at issue #447, it aims to solve this problem cleanly.
