SDT Connector
typically
launches a client using command line arguments to point it at the local endpoint of the
redirection. There are three special keywords for specifying the command line format. When
launching the client,
SDT Connector
substitutes these keywords with the appropriate values:
%path%
is path to the executable file, that is, the previous field.
%host%
is the local address to which the local endpoint of the redirection is bound, that is, the
Local Address field for the Service redirection Advanced options.
%port%
is the local port to which the local endpoint of the redirection is bound, that is, the Local
TCP Port field for the Service redirection Advanced options. If this port is unspecified (that is,
“Any”), the appropriate randomly selected port will be substituted.
For example
SDT Connector
is preconfigured for Windows installations with a HTTP service client that
will connect with the local browser that the local Windows user has configured as the default.
Otherwise, the default browser used is Firefox:
Also some clients are launched in a command line or terminal window. The Telnet client is an example
of this so the “Path to client executable file” is
telnet
and the “Command line format for client
executable” is
cmd /c start %path% %host% %port%
