Basically, I'd say this is actually not a plugin specific question. What you need to do is (1) make your webapp talk to the x2go server to get the list of sessions. The webapp should then dynamically create a configuration file that is loaded by the plugin,

It's already done :)

1: Getting the list of sessions shouldn't be a problem at all: If your webapp is in python, you can use the pyx2go library and only need three lines of code - if not, find an ssh library for your programming language, connect to the x2go host using ssh, execute x2golistsessions and parse the output.

For another reason I already use paramiko (maybe I'll release some code). Then it's exactly what I do.

(is it possible to write a Python plugin for web browser ?)

2: This is probably the point where it all breaks: As far as I can see, the x2goplugin does not have an option for this "x2go.server" file that tells it to resume a specified session. Maybe dig through the docs if

Indeed, I didn't see any option in the docs and the code.

you can find something. If not - get the source code for the plugin and the x2goclient and modify it to your needs. It is GPL and it should _theoretically_ be possible to get it.

I'm afraid I don't have time to do this now, and I don't want to modify the code before the — official — release. Maybe in one month if the plugin is officially released.

I'll read again the code and see if I find something… Thanks for your reply !

Hi Guillaume,

it's nice to hear that you use paramiko. It would be cool if you could have a look at the pyx2go stuff (http://github.com/joerg86/pyx2go) and see if you can use some parts of it or contribute missing things, as we have the paramiko approach as well in there. I know, for the list sessions thing it's not really necessary to use it - but I think it's better to early start discussing ideas/requirements and join our forces to avoid that somebody does work that has already been done!

Thanks,

Jörg

It's not mentioned in "x2goclient --help", but the client has the "sessionid" option.

Unfortunately x2goplugin doesn't seem to recognize it. So, I have to try to build the plugin…

Guillaume,

Jörg,

better get yourself a coffee and relax. Don't try to build the plugin.

I'm currently drinking my coffee :)

Yes, it is GPL and you should theoretically have access to the sources but the developers ignore that fact for months now. So better do something productive than trying to modify that plugin. Just got a mail from Heinz saying he is in a train and very busy (as usual) and the plugin sources are not available.

Are you sure that the plugin isn't buildable ? I don't know what is required to build a firefox plugin…
