[Bug 22022] RegisterProtocolHandler needs to accept http POST request, if possible

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22022

--- Comment #1 from Chris Cargile <follybeachris@hotmail.com> ---
I have reached the developer of the ExportTabs extension in hopes of
determining why and/or how Google("Chrome") responds to mailto: when the
registeredProtocolHandler for such a request is 'handled' by gmail.  

According to a post here (http://ow.ly/ldhhs), browser-vendors are apparently
free to design paramenter-agnostic handlers such as is the case for handling
mailto: requests,anyway..

Without having a more finely detailed specification/contract (perhaps awaiting
browser-vendor agreement/discussion on the matter) for how to implement an
enhanced mailto: protocol, it seems unlikely that the goal of using HTTP POST
as an HTTP request method could be achieved.

In other words, I am not aware of any enhanced-contract that binds mailto:
protocols to be able to accept parameters or obliges browser-vendors to enable
such a request, at this time.
