So you've found the scripts in our git - the purpose of those scripts is to initiate the needed command on server side. This means they take care about the session management, the mounted directories, the audio redicrection and so on. The main task is done by those needed services and if you want to write a client on HTML/Javascript base you'll need to contact those services too. NX is a rendering protocol, so you wont find already rendered diff screen segments like vnc. A real native implementation would need to render all primitives drawn in the X screen to be converted to the HTML Canvas Element. I've played with the Canvas Element a lot, but I always needed some local components to do all the needed work. The result would again be an extension for the browser which needs to be installed - like our plugin solution. But the plugin is now a variant of x2goclient so it won't need another code base. But this is what I've experienced - I really would like to hear more of your ideas about this. What already can be done: Use a virtual x2go display with ajaxvnc (or any other HTML VNC solution) and access it via your browser. The occuring problem is, that you'll get no advantages to a pure vnc environment, because the nx/x2goagent is not displayed locally... > I will mostly want to be looking at where the data gets sent to the client, > but I'm not sure where the best place to look for that would be. The communication you are looking for is the communication between a X-client and a X-server. To make it more complicated - yes in this special case it is compressed and encrypted (ssh - I don't see how to access ssh via javascript) too. I really see a lot of Use Cases for such a client, because it could be used on totally closed brickware! So again - welcome on our list. Thank you for your interest and for sharing you idea with us. Maybe some more time is needed, but I don't consider this task as "hopeless" (as other projects are working on similar ideas): http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2011/03/15/gtk-html-backend-update/ Regards, Heinz _______________________________________________ X2go-dev mailing list X2go-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
