Custom URLs

[Dan Friedman]

Sean,

Thank you!   But, these solutions require that the Custom URL is added to the app at deployment.  Not going to work for my client.   I was looking to get an understanding as to why these URLs need to be in the pList.  Not sure of the reasoning behind this... I need to be able to explain to client why I can't deliver their desired functionalty. 

Thank you!
-Dan
