App waits for keypress, then - if a browser is open - notes current url, and redirects user to another URL using previous URL as a GET variable

Here's how it works. Once app is installed, the user can navigate through our site. If they get to a certain page, and they want a certain bit of data about that page, they press the "F2" button on their keyboard. The page they're on is noted, and then they are redirected (in the open browser if there is one open) to a new page, using the page they were on as a variable. It would look like this.. h t t p :/ / w w w . n e w - d o m a i n . c o m / n e w p a g e . c g i ? l a s t p a g e = h t t p : / / w w w . o l d - d o m a i n . c o m / f o o . h t m l Whatever page they were on is called "lastpage" and is sent as a variable to [login to view URL] By the way, if a browser window is not open, this app should just ignore it if the user presses "F2". Also, when the person downloads the software, they will be given the option of choosing a username and password. This will be downloaded, along with the app, as a config file. Format of the config file can be simply this: username=bar pass=12345 So when the user presses F2, it also reads that config file and sends those variables too. So the whole URL string the app redirects to would be something like this... h t t p :/ / w w w . n e w - d o m a i n . c o m / n e w p a g e . c g i ? l a s t p a g e = h t t p : / / w w w . o l d - d o m a i n . c o m / f o o . h t m l & u s e r n a m e = b a r & p a s s = 1 2 3 4 5 The domain prefix (h t t p : / / w w w . n e w - d o m a i n / n e w p a g e . c g i ?) isn't the real domain prefix, obviously, but I'll give it to you and it should be hardcoded into the app. Assume user doesn't have VB runtime files or any other files required to make this work. App should appear in Systray with easy uninstall. I'll provide the icon for the systray, etc. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site). ## Platform IE and Netscape.
