Hello to all,
I'm interested in a possible html client for x2go. There is this project, Guacamole, which implements the HTML client for VNC protocol. Guacamole works as a wrapper for native client libraries, and has a extensible architecture, allowing to implement other protocols besides VNC. It does a tunneling via a Java Servlet.
As I spoke with the developers, it is pretty easy to implement another protocol as long as there is already a native lib available.
if you're interested I am available to start working on this, with the help of x2go developers and guacamole developers to implement this protocol for the guacamole project, so we all can have the benefit of a html client.
Best regards, Vasilica Petcu

Which protocol are you planning to use (instead of VNC or NX). Note:
for NX you need XServer technology on the client.

I can not speak for the others, but I will give any help I can. Having
a client that could be used without extending the browser would be
nice. However, I am not an expert on browser based X2go and you
probably should wait for feedback from Heinz on this.

Guacamole uses (as far as I know) - as any other ajax client I've seen until now - the bitmap drawing function of the html tag "canvas". So if you are using any other protocol as a source for the proxying servlet, the "delivery" to the client will be "vnc like". This can of cause be interesting for administration purpose but it will not be able to deliver an identical user experience to x2go.
if you're interested I am available to start working on this, with the help of x2go developers and guacamole developers to implement this protocol for the guacamole project, so we all can have the benefit of a html client.
I'm still interested in something like "drawing primitives" or "work on intelligent bitmap caching" with the help of a browser. But sure it would be a good thing to offer a already working "first step" towards a plugin less browser client. Please let me know if you need further informations that we can provide.
Regards,
Heinz
