I have a shortcut on my desktop which uses GotoApplication.aspx with the AppId of a web application to launch the page with the correct Dynamic Port. I'm trying to launch this application from within another application, and I need the redirect URL. I've looked at the UWS.Configuration API and couldn't find any way to do this.

How should this be accomplished? Call the GotoApplication.aspx in my app?

I just realized that UWS.Configuration.WebAppConfigEntry inherits from ListenEndpoint, so I was able to use the GetBrowserUrls() function..

Is this the recommended method?

Thanks!

Hi!

Yes, ListenEndpoint.GetBrowserUrls(string wildcardReplacement) is the most likely to help method.

Hi!

You may also consider using following not-yet-document method of the Metabase class:

Code:

/// (summary)
/// Generates port-agnostic link to an application via UWS Redirector.
/// (/summary)
/// (param name="appID")(/param)
/// (param name="host")
/// Optional. Host name or IP address to be used in the URL pointing to the UWS Recirector application. 
/// If null, default host will be used. If set to "*IOS*", host will be in the format of "machinename.local" or "machinename", 
/// depending on whether host machine is a member of a domain.
/// (/param)
/// (param name="optionalPathAndQueryString")Optional. A part to be appended to the redirection URL, 
/// in case start page is different from web app's default document.(/param)
/// (param name="portOrder")Optional. Lists port number preference order. 
/// Should be used when multiple non-80 and non-443 is used as listen addresses.(/param)
/// (returns)(/returns)
public static string CreateAppRedirectLink(Guid appID, string host = null, string optionalPathAndQueryString = null, params ushort[] portOrder)
{
    const string autoIOShost = "*IOS*";
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(host) || host == autoIOShost)
        host = GetDefaultHost(forIOS: host == autoIOShost);

    WebAppConfigEntry uwsRedirector = Metabase.FindApplication(AppPoolRegistrationHelper.LegacyCassiniExplorerAppID);
    string[] urls = uwsRedirector.GetBrowseUrls(host);

    StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder();
    url.Append(urls[0]);
    url.AppendFormat("GoToApplication.aspx/{0}", appID.ToString().ToUpper());

    if (portOrder != null)
    {
        foreach (ushort port in portOrder)
            url.AppendFormat(",{0}", port);
    }
    url.Append("/");

    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(optionalPathAndQueryString))
        url.Append(optionalPathAndQueryString.TrimStart('/'));

    return url.ToString();
}
