Protozilla is a browser add-on that makes it easy to implement protocols in Mozilla (or Netscape 6.x). It is not a traditional browser plugin, but may be described as a "socket adapter", like the kind that you may carry around with your laptop when you travel internationally. With Protozilla, implementing a new protocol becomes as easy as typing a one line URL prefix, or dragging-and-dropping a file. Protozilla enables any CGI program or Unix/MSDOS command line program to instantly become a Mozilla "plugin" with little or no modification. These external programs, which may be written in any language, communicate with Mozilla through their standard input/output and the environment variables.
