I searched this mailing list archive and found mention of what I'm looking
for, which is vncviewer handling a vnc:// url.

http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2003-October/041408.html

Has this proposal been accepted, in the works, or even considered?

I think the proposal was a good start, and I could certainly use it as
proposed, but I feel VNCViewer needs a complete implementation, including
specifying non-standard ports, screen, and other parameters supported by the
viewer.  Such as:

vnc://{machine}:{port}?screen=0&setting=value&setting=value...

So to connect to a vnc server running on machine1 on port 5959, screen 2 and
starting up in full screen mode:

vnc://machine1:5959?Screen=2&FullScreen=1

Running the viewer from the command line would look something this:
vncviewer vnc://machine1:5959?Screen=2&FullScreen=1

or even something like this (might be more acceptable, and could still be
implemented in the handler setup in the registry)

vncviewer -url vnc://machine1:5959?Screen=2&FullScreen=1

I would really like to see this in a future version of VNC Viewer.

The reason I'm looking for this is so I can list all the machines I support
in a webpage, so I can just click a link and have the viewer launch. (I know
about the java viewer, but I don't see the point of using it when I have a
native viewer - and as I haven't needed it I've been turning it off)

OTOH, maybe another VNC implementation already does this, a version that I'm
simply unaware of?
