Defining your your own mime-type has a disadvantage in that nobody but you knows about it (yet). In Boaz's approach it's not needed because it's not an X session that's started from the browser (OCX) but an ssh session that then starts the the remote app and tunnels the X session in case it's a graphical app. So what would be needed is a tiny shell script that goes like:
#!/bin/sh ssh -X user@apphost '/path/to/wine/app.exe'
A mime-type for shell scripts already exists: application/x-sh
This may be a little off-topic, but the idea combining http and x is really fascinating.
Funny how we were independently getting off-topic within the same thread.
