Protocol handlers in Chrome through the registry

For training, I created an application that returns the calculated output with the HTTP protocol. To verify that I am calling in a web browser (IE, FF, Chrome) a host with a port: 127.0.0.1:8764. This works in all browsers that were mentioned earlier. Now I wanted to change the protocol handler to make my application more complex. So I added .reg with information about my "unique" protocol called ProtocolDemoTest. Now when I want to run my application with the following URL: ProtocolDemoTest: // I only get positive results in IE and FF, but it seems to be somehow not working in Chrome. I searched a bit and found this http://www.google.fi/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=4e79db1b44daa2e6&hl=enwhich I found not as I imagined. I want it to work in IE, FF, Chrome, only adding some data to the registry. Can you help me find a real way to do this in all web browsers?

The API you are looking for is the following: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler

Although available in Chrome, the call does nothing. This issue is tracked here: http://crbug.com/44984
