How to start app's from within a browser? - TheTom (the.tom@usa.net), 12.7.97-19:43:46- Hi all,
-
- I have the following problem: I am told to
- create a system of HTML pages that can
- be used as a 'launche site' for our software
- package. Meaning: There is a link to application
- A and if you click it the app A starts up at
- the client system (!).
-
- Client software is Netscape and I am running
- an Apache under Solaris as server. I am not
- allowed to use Java-Script. Java is also
- forbidden cause the clients run under Win311
- (16bit so).
-
- My first idea was to set up specific mime types
- for each application and configure the clients
- to launch the correct application. But I consider
- this brute force... anyone who has a better [less
- brute ;) ] idea?
