Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050408 Camino/0.8+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050408 Camino/0.8+

A link like <a href="ssh://username@server.com">SSH Link</a> used to 
fireup the Terminal in OSX and throw an SSH login to the Terminal, so
all that was required to complete the login was the pw (that cannot
be embedded into an SSH URL apparently).
<P>
Latest nightly build of Camino now gives a dialog saying "SSH is not a valid
protocol".  
<P>
Using "telnet://" protocol is not sufficient, since that will not automatically
create an ssh login attempt.  
<P>
Safari and Firefox still function with a "ssh://" url.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a .html page with this link: <a href="ssh://username@server.com">SSH
Link</a>
2.  Click the link.
Actual Results:  
1.  Dialog appears telling that "ssh is not a valid protocol"

Expected Results:  
1.  URL should be thrown to Terminal (maybe with a warning dialog, like happens
with Safari and Firefox).
If you try the ssh:// url first in Safari, then Camino should present the proper
External Protocol dialogue allowing you to choose to pass ssh:// urls to
Terminal.app.
