Registering Custom Protocol for Windows Phone 8 App WebBrowser Control - webbrowser-control

Question

I'm searching for a way to register a custom protocol for Windows Phone 8. I tried to register a custom protocol with WebRequest.RegisterPrefix("xxx://", this) but this will not work for the WebBrowser control. Since our protocol scheme is no valid uri the app will just crash if it try to navigate (via location.url='xxx://this-is-no-valid-uri').
I hope anyone can spread light into the darkness ;)
EDIT: Here is my test project. I think this is a major bug because you can force every app to crash with just a simple JavaScript statement.

Recently i had to create a custom uri scheme,and that was pretty easy
in your WMAppManifest add:
<Extensions>
<Protocol Name="XXXX" NavUriFragment="encodedLaunchUri=%s" TaskID="_default" />
</Extensions>
this is stands after Tokens
than in your App.cs file you redirect to the class which is responsible for the navigation
RootFrame.UriMapper = new CustomUriMapper();
for example
class CustomUriMapper : UriMapperBase
{
private string tempUri;
public override Uri MapUri(Uri uri)
{
tempUri = System.Net.HttpUtility.UrlDecode(uri.ToString());
if (tempUri.Contains("XXXX"))
{
return new Uri("/MainPage.xaml?parameter=XXXX", UriKind.Relative);
}
else
{
return new Uri("/MainPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
}
}
}
i hope i helped
EDIT
i have create a small project, and i'm sure it works, please try this
string url = "xxxx:";
WebBrowserTask browser = new WebBrowserTask();
browser.URL = url;
browser.Show();

I finally got a Solution for my Problem, you need to register a own UriParser.
My UriParser:
public class MyUriParser : UriParser
{
public MyUriParser()
{
}
protected override string GetComponents(Uri uri, UriComponents components, UriFormat format)
{
return "";
}
protected override bool IsWellFormedOriginalString(Uri uri)
{
return true;
}
protected override void InitializeAndValidate(Uri uri, out UriFormatException parsingError)
{
parsingError = null;
}
protected override bool IsBaseOf(Uri baseUri, Uri relativeUri)
{
return false;
}
protected override string Resolve(Uri baseUri, Uri relativeUri, out UriFormatException parsingError)
{
parsingError = null;
return "";
}
}
Registered via:
if (!UriParser.IsKnownScheme(SCHEMENAME_0))
UriParser.Register(new MyUriParser(), SCHEMENAME_0, 80);
