execute command line from hyperlink/url
is there any way i can call an application with a parameter from a URL?
the command line is c:\dial.exe 12345
(where 12345 is the phone # to be dialed)
i tried doing it in my browser's address bar but the space is causing a problem.
thank you.

PS i realize there is some risk in that.. such as a rogue URL calling "format c:", so i assume there is somewhere in Windows that i will have to designate this exe as an "allowed" app for a browser to run... or do i need some type of browser plugin to do it?

Which telephony provider are you using?

x66_x72_x65_x65 I'm using NBS - a local provider in the NY/NJ metro area, and they use a broadsoft platform.
All - when I use any of the programs such as dialer, or dial.exe, they tell windows something, and then windows issues a command over the network to the polycom phone using standard TAPI protocols. is there a way to get a link from a browser to just issue these same commands directly? or to call Windows TAPI from a URL? i'm currently looking at a program called HTTPTAPI which might do the trick, it's at http://www.ipcom.at/en/telephony/httptapi/

Run a packet trace placing a test call with wireshark and post it here for review.
Another option is writing your own plug-in/extension. See here and here. Here's an existing extension which could possibly be manipulated.
Try this using your Polycom's IP address:
