Understanding URL Content Redirection
The URL Content Redirection feature supports redirection from a remote desktop or application to a client,
and from a client to a remote desktop or application.
Redirection from a remote desktop or application to a client is called agent-to-client redirection. Redirection
from a client to a remote desktop or application is called client-to-agent redirection.
Agent-to-client
redirection
With agent-to-client redirection, Horizon Agent sends the URL to
Horizon Client, which opens the default application for the protocol in the
URL on the client machine.
Client-to-agent
redirection
With client-to-agent redirection, Horizon Client opens a remote desktop or
remote application that you specify to handle the URL. If the URL is
redirected to a remote desktop, the link is opened in the default browser for
the protocol on the desktop. If the URL is redirected to a remote application,
the link is opened by the specied application. The end user must be entitled
to the desktop or application pool.
You can redirect some URLs from a remote desktop or application to a client, and redirect other URLs from
a client to a remote desktop or application. You can redirect any number of protocols, including HTTP,
HTTPS, mailto, and callto.
