A url that when a request is made to it does the following
send a create agent message to the backend
redirects the browser to an agentui url that has a parm that is the uuid of the new agent
This is an external protocol request. For this, we incorporate a js script into the home-page of the project, which registers the "agent://" protocol to a local port of the computer.
In order for the external protocol request to be made, the project installer must include a daemon, which runs as a background process to listen on the designated port. The EPR is sent as an augmented url. Upon reception, the daemon parses any url parameters and launches the main process, which finally communicates with the remote server to establish a new agent.
This is the technique employed by Spotify with their SpotifyHelper process, which registers a startup script (on OS X, launchd process), so that the daemon runs virtually all the time.
