[THIN] Re: Server to Client Content Redirection

Possibly. But there is more complexity to server to client redirection that
you might expect. Redirection URLs is easy because the client just needs
network access to URL being redirected. If the .flv (which I think is a
flash video file) file exists on a URL path then it would guess it should
work.

But consider the problem of redirecting any file types that exists on a
filesystem, either local or remote on the citrix server. Now you have the
problem of if the client has access to that drive on the client or not and
how to determine it in a prompt fashion. If the file is local on the citrix
server and you want to access that on the client machine you'll need some
sort of reverse CDM technology so that server drives are mapped on the
client machine. What i'm saying is that its not a insignificant piece of
work and probably not enough people have requested about it to merit the
effort.
