Wow, I am astonished how tiny the code is compared to nxagent!

Can you tell us a bit more why you developed this? I mean, this drops
the main advantages of NX vs VNC and RDP: efficient compression, low
bandwidth support. Is this usable outside a LAN?

To save some development effort you could try to include the image
compression/caching from nx-libs.
