question: what's the intended url to connect by nickname?

[t184256]

I'm trying to automate an RDP connection that requires ENABLEGFX => no support for it in url schema. It looks like I'm supposed to be able to load a connection by nickname, and it's OK for me to pre-create one manually with a stable nickname, but I can't figure out the right uri to trigger it. rdp://?SaveConnection=False\&ConnectionName=nickname fails to connect:

D RemoteCanvasActivity: Initializing classic connection from Intent.
D ConnectionBean: Creating connection from URI
I ConnectionBean: Loding connection info from nickname: nickname
I ConnectionBean: Parsing VNC URI.
I ConnectionBean: URI missing remote address.
I RemoteCanvasActivity: Exiting - Insufficent information to connect and connection was not saved.

Hey, looks like you have to know and provide the remote address and port too, not just the ConnectionName.

Does something like:

rdp://1.2.3.4:3389?SaveConnection=False\&ConnectionName=nickname

work?

Please let me know if this issue needs to be reopened and looked at more.

No, it asks for credentials, despite the saved connection in question authing fine when launched manually:

I ConnectionBean: Loding connection info from nickname: nickname

I also can't replicate starting by shortcut, despite sending an intent that looks 100% the same to what's in the logs.

            connection = ConnectionBean.createLoadFromUri(data, this);

            String host = data.getHost();
            if (!host.startsWith(Utils.getConnectionString(this))) {
                connection.parseFromUri(data);
            }

Why even go into parseFromUri and override what's already loaded correctly?
