User manual

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 or application. Use the desktop display name or
application display name. This name is the one specified in View
Administrator when the desktop or application pool was created. If the
display name has a space in it, use the %20 encoding mechanism to represent
the space.

Specifies the configuration options to use or the desktop or application
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...]
