Requirements for Using URL Content Redirection
With the URL Content Redirection feature, URL content can be redirected from the client machine to a
remote desktop or application (client-to-agent redirection), or from a remote desktop or application to the
client machine (agent-to-client redirection).
For example, an end user can click a link in the native Microsoft Word application on the client and the link
opens in the remote Internet Explorer application, or an end user can click a link in the remote Internet
Explorer application and the link opens in a native browser on the client machine. Any number of protocols
can be congured for redirection, including HTTP, mailto, and callto.
