Launching Odyssey

I am trying to set up Odyssey in the Preferences->URL settings. But I can only get it to open to a blank page.

HTTP tab
ODYSSEY APPDIR:ODYSSEY "URL=*"http://%s*""

HTTPS tab
ODYSSEY APPDIR:ODYSSEY "URL=*"https://%s*""

WWW tab
ODYSSEY APPDIR:ODYSSEY "URL=*"http://www.%s*""


These open the browser, but to a blank tab.

If I use APPDIR:ODYSSEYLAUNCHER, it flashes the Odyssey logo then closes immediately and does not open the browser.

What are the correct settings?

I use an ARexx script:

/* For using Odyssey with OS4 URLOpen */
options results
parse arg url

/*if lastpos("ODYSSEY", SHOW(PORTS)) > 0 then do */
if show('PORTS','ODYSSEY.1') then do
 address ODYSSEY.1
 OPEN NAME url NEWPAGE
end
else do
 address command 'APPDIR:Odyssey' url
end

and in URL prefs, HTTP tab/page:
[v/] | OWB | REXX:odyssey.rexx | "*"http://%s*""

I have the same as you except that the URL= part so



ODyssey does not appear to support ReaArgs style arguments



Opens a window rather than returning a template



Access the website as required.

These two



Both open blank windows....

@mritter0
Get rid of the "URL=" part and try using this instead: "*"http://%s*""

EDIT: Looks like others have already suggested the change.

@broadblues

That worked. Thanks.

If you want an Odyssey "splash window" when starting it using UrlOpen, then you could use this:
