Invoking binary

[ABM]

Smartclient 6.5.1, client-side only, non-java server

A client has asked us to provide a facility to invoke a binary from the browser. This is a secure intranet, and they have modified the browser security to allow this facility. The binary can currently be invoked by typing a specific command into the browser's address bar, and I would like to simulate it. The binary as a normal windows binary and opens its own window.

The use of window.open leave orphan browser windows open, and I would like to try and avoid it.

The address to be invoked, without opening any new window, is e.g.

cmd1:<REFTOPASS>

I have been looking at using the RPC manager:

isc.RPCManager.send("cmd1:<REFTOPASS>")

but it gives me a 404 no matter what combinations of parameters I try

Is it possible to invoke a url without having SC open a window? Is the RPCmanager the way to go?

Thank you.

You can probably do window.location = "url you would type into address bar". This works without leaving the current page for file download, so its likely to work for executing a process as well.
