Calling an FM script from WebDirect WebViewer tries to open FileMaker Pro?

Codeus

Hi folks,

I have a problem calling an FM Script from a webviewer under WebDirect. When the script is called, it attempts to open FileMaker Pro locally rather than handle it in the web browser.

The server is a clean install Win 2016 Std (w/GUI) + FMS 16.0.1, nothing else, fmurlscript is enabled for all privilege sets.

I've set a demo database here: http://testing.learninglogic.co.uk/fmi/webd/test

I guess I'm being dumb but just can't see what I'm doing wrong?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Are you using the fmp url protocol?  That is meant to open FMP, it will never hand it off to webdirect.

For WebDirect you have to onstruct a completely different URL but I'm not sure that actually works from a web viewer.
