Comment on VNC client using HTML5 (Web Sockets, Canvas) with encryption

Comments

Nifty. Has anyone attempted a full ssh + term emu? Could probably get away with using ChromeOS then.

@bombs mentioned ajax ssh from Slicehost

http://antony.lesuisse.org/software/ajaxterm/

I think that's just tunneling to a server side implementation though.

What I meant was that it'd be neat to have JS that actually implemented the client ssh and xterm/whatever emulation so you wouldn't need to go through the intermediate forwarding server to get somewhere.

I rewrote rxvt in javascript. http://github.com/paddymul/rxvt-js ther terminal emulator is capable of displaying streaming connections, but I haven't built the server backend to enable it.

That would break the domain based security model the Web uses

Flash can do sockets, but it requires crossdomain.xml
