This URI has the same eect as the previous example, except that it uses the nondefault port of 7555 for
Connection Server. (The default port is 443.) Because a desktop identier is provided, the desktop is
launched even though the start-session action is not included in the URI.

https://horizon.mycompany.com/?applicationId=Primary%20Application&desktopId=Primary
%20Desktop
This URI species both an application and a desktop. When you specify both an application and a
desktop, only the desktop is launched.

Opens Notepad++ 12 on server 10.10.10.10 and passes the argument a.text b.txt in the application

the argument a.txt b.txt to WordPad, WordPad opens only one le, a.txt.
