LSGetApplicationForURL() failed

Hi,

I am developing an application tool that requires a function which will give me users default browser name.

I have code as below

 

     FSRef appRef;

     CFURLRef inUrl;

     OSStatus status;

     CFStringRef urlString;

     CFURLRef appUrlRef;

     CFStringRef defBrowserName;

 

     cfURLStr = CFStringCreateWithCString(kCFAllocatorDefault, "http://www.quickheal.com", kCFStringEncodingUTF8);

     if (NULL == urlString)                                exit(-1);

  inUrl = CFURLCreateWithString(NULL, urlString, NULL);

     status = LSGetApplicationForURL(inUrl, kLSRolesEditor, &appRef, &appUrlRef);

     if (noErr != status)     {  CFRelease(inUrl);           CFRelease(urlString); exit(-1);  }

 

     defBrowserName = CFURLCopyLastPathComponent(inUrl);

NSLog(@"Here is Default Browser Name %@", (NSString *)defBrowserName);

 

This code works well when i am normal user. But when i ran same code as super user, it give me error

that

LSGetApplicationForURL() failed. Error:(-10814)

 

Why this happened?

I am waiting for some quick replies which i had not got last time.

Thanks in advance,

Dhiraj
