Well, AFAICS Alex is transferring (only) images/tiles from the server to client. Which which is not how NX works. So to support NX you either have to grab the (resulting) images at the server side and can then use Alex' code. Or you need a X server on the client side. Either in the browser or as a separate app running somewhere in the client-side network. The HTML5 client can then again grab the images from that server and display them. Both approaches satisfy the "have a HTML5 client" but the first one loses all benefits of NX (from my POV there's no reason to use NX protocol anymore then) and the second is either a huge task (xserver in javascript) or requires a separate program running aside from the browser. What am I missing that make you excited about all that? Uli _______________________________________________ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org https://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
