The standalone application is a game which is launched via an exe file. The exe file resides in the user's machine.
The application is launched via a link in the browser. We associate the EXE with a MIME Content Type and when the user clicks it, it will launch. We can pass arguments to the link just like any html link. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Petro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 24, 2012 3:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [cas-user] Launching a stand-alone application from a web page What's the nature of the standalone application?
