Ok. I'm not sure the web page option will work for my app. For the shortcut, I think I understand how to pass parameters to the app, but I'm not sure how to get the client's local hostname in the first place to pass to it.
It seems like a) since this is pretty useful information and b) since every modern OS has standard calls to get the hostname, this should be really easy to implement and make availabe in AIR.
