VMware Horizon URL Content Redirection Helper

The VMware Horizon URL Content Redirection Helper is used in conjunction with Horizon Client. Please contact your IT department before downloading this extension.

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 specified 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.
