    So in my last thread here, I showed a way to create URLs which join a (currently Windows-only) client to the server which someone is playing on along with the code that can be used to do so, including the API calls

    This leaves a simple but well-defined gap in features - there isn't a way to easily create a http:// URL which will take someone to a specified server in a similar fashion! There are some situations, like on this forum software, where kag:// and other arbitrary application URIs don't work. For this, I created the following:

    https://poc.kag2d.com/joinserver/ip/67.23.118.185/port/50314

    Which is actually rewritten to:
    https://poc.kag2d.com/joinserver/joinserver.php?IPAddress=67.23.118.185&port=50314

    There are few situations where this is probably helpful, but around these forums is one of them.

    Here's the stupidly simple php source:
    https://poc.kag2d.com/joinserver/joinserver.phps

    And the .htaccess file I have which does this rewrite:
    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/joinserver/ip/[0-9\.:]+/port/[0-9]+
    RewriteRule ^joinserver/ip/([0-9\.]+)/port/([0-9]+) joinserver/joinserver.php?IPAddress=$1&port=$2

    You can also try KAG:// IP : port

    Why would it then work in IE? And probably the way i've installed it as I have about 12 different KAGs.
