Effectively to avoid wrangling various source files of GNOME
infrastructure and Epiphany I would kindly ask for some insight about
how the protocols handling is supposed to be configured and to work in
GNOME, so that I could have something to base my further investigation
on.

I would love to write and submit a patch and maintain it until it gets
included into Epiphany, but I just don't want to do enormous work of
searching this functionality in GNOME infrastructure, as I currently
believe that there are people who can kndly point me to the right place.
