url schema for iOS not working

headed your way!

Thanks,
Ken

Actually I need a way to send it to you as I can't post the info here in the forum. Can you send an email to  kknight -at- propertyboss.com ?

Ken - Can you send me your file and let me know what URL you are using?

Thanks,

Chris

WooHoo! Got it working!

The problem is apparently PocketCloud is expecting an RDP filename in the url and doesn't allow the '?s=asdfoasdf' parameter I was trying to pass to my server. The work around was to utilize IIS 7's URL rewrite functionality. I added a map that uses the regular express of '^rdp_session/([_0-9a-z-]+).rdp' and maps it over to '/myapplication/tablet_login.awp?s={R:1}'. 

With the above rule;

http://mydomain.com/rdp_session/233412312312asff.rdp

becomes

http://mydomain.com/myapplication/ta...3412312312asff

in the background.

Gotta love URL rewriting!

Cheers!

Well it has nothing to do with the content-disposition. I used the php script to return exactly what you have as a sample and it launches pocketcloud and that is the end of it. No message or any other indicator.

The return packets from the php script are as follows;

=========================================

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: application/x-rdp
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.0
Content-disposition: inline; filename=3690986a861c449c977394b80230724c.rdp
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 01:51:04 GMT
Content-Length: 152

username:s:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
pocketcloud password:s:xxxxxxxxxx
full address:s:xxxxxxxxxxx
server port:i:xxxxxxx
domain:s:xxxxxxxxx

=========================================

The url I'm attempting to launch pocketcloud with is as follows;

pocketcloud://mydomain.com/myapplication/tablet_rdp.awp?s=asdf98asdf0s9df9sdf9sdfs0d0

Cheers!

Hi
I am having the same issue with version 2.2.214 of PocketCloud. In a previous version the same launch of PocketCloud was working.

Can anyone confirm this problem ?

Just did a packet capture and I see that my code (which is actually not in php.. I just used that as an example earlier) returns the following tcp stream;

================================================== ================
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 152
Content-Type: application/x-rdp
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.0
Set-Cookie: AWP_CSESSION=6BC739F8920C006915D382B1968C888C2E1A8 4B3; path=/
WebDevSrc: MEM application/x-rdp
Content-Disposition: Attachment; filename="3690986a861c449c977394b80230724c.rdp"
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET

Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2011 23:31:58 GMT

username:s:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
pocketcloud password:s:xxxxxxxxxxxx
full address:s:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
server port:i:xxxxxx
domain:s:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

================================================== ================

Is it possible that the content-disposition being Attachment instead of 'inline' what is throwing it?

Thanks,
Ken

Thomas - There is a fix in our new build which may address your issue. It is due out in 2-3 weeks.

 Still having problems with this

Hi all,

I need details on exactly what pocketcloud expects to receive from the call to the passed in URL. Things such as MIME type, document encoding etc. I've have tested until I'm blue in the face and this thing has yet to work. However, if I pass the same url in a browser and let it open on my desktop, with the exception of the pocketcloud specific tags, it will launch remote desktop and make a connection to the correct server with the correct username.

The URL format (example) that I'm using is like this;

pocketcloud://mydomain.com/tablet_loging.php?sess=GUID_String

This will return a valid rdp file (or at least what I'm calling a valid file), yet pocketcloud responds with an invalid bookmark URL or something of that nature.

The rdp files have to be delivered dynamically which is why I've got an app that authenticates them and then passes that session guid back to the server to hand out the correct RDP file for that user.

Any suggestions would be great as we'd like to get this rolled out sooner rather than later and sadly we're already into the later part. BTW I'm using this line of code to launch inside the iOS app

[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLwithString: launchURL]];

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

Our developers provided the sample PHP code below for you to try: 

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Content-type: application/x-rdp");
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=mydesktop.rdp");

$param = $_GET['address'];

echo "full address:s:$param\n";
echo "username:s:someusername" 
?>

Hi Ken - You can e-mail it to iossupport@wyse.com

Beautiful. I'll give it a try this evening. I'll also do a packet capture on a desktop to see exactly what is being passed down from the server.

Thanks,
