User`s guide

The only required element is the URI scheme, vmware-view. For some versions of some client operating
systems, the scheme name is case-sensitive. Therefore, use vmware-view.
IMPORTANT In all parts, non-ASCII characters must first be encoded according to UTF-8 [STD63], and then
each octet of the corresponding UTF-8 sequence must be percent-encoded to be represented as URI
characters.
For information about encoding for ASCII characters, see the URL encoding reference at
http://www.utf8-chartable.de/.
authority-part
Specifies the server address and, optionally, a user name, a non-default port
number, or both. Server names must conform to DNS syntax.
To specify a user name, use the following syntax:
user1@server-address
Note that you cannot specify a UPN address, which includes the domain. To
specify the domain, you can use the domainName query part in the URI.
To specify a port number, use the following syntax:
server-address:port-number
path-part
Specifies the desktop. Use the desktop display name. If the display name has
a space in it, use the %20 encoding mechanism to represent the space.
query-part
Specifies the configuration options to use or the desktop actions to perform.
Queries are not case-sensitive. To use multiple queries, use an ampersand
(&) between the queries. If queries conflict with each other, the last query in
the list is used. Use the following syntax:
query1=value1[&query2=value2...]
Supported Queries
This topic lists the queries that are supported for this type of Horizon View Client. If you are creating URIs
for multiple types of clients, such as desktop clients and mobile clients, see the Using
VMware Horizon View Client guide for each type of client system.
