The API allowed strings to be passed from the RFB module to the
application using the disconnect reason. This caused problems since
the application didn't have control over translations for these
strings.
Most of the information being passed using this string was very
technical and not helpful to the end user. One exception to this was
the security result information regarding for example authentication
failures. The protocol allows the VNC server to pass a string
directly to the user in the security result.
So the disconnect reason is replaced by a boolean saying if the
disconnection was clean or not. And for the security result information
from the server, a new event has been added.
Instead of exposing all the internal connection states, the RFB module
will now only send events on connect and on disconnect. This makes it
simpler for the application and gets rid of the double events that were
being sent on disconnect (previously updatestate and disconnect).
An RFB object represents a single connection so it doesn't make
sense to have one without it trying to connect right away. Matches
the behaviour of other APIs, e.g. WebSocket.
Use normal properties with JavaScript setters and getters instead of
our homegrown stuff.
This also changes the properties to follow normal naming conventions.
Sort things by category, and organise everything in the same place.
We don't support reuse of RFB objects so we can safely init everything
in the constructor.
The previous method of retaining focus didn't work reliably when
the RFB object tried to move the focus to the canvas. Add a setting
to control "focus on click" behaviour instead of letting them try
to fight it out.
Give the canvas proper focus handling. This avoids messy logic that
needs to disable and enable event handling when we want to interact
with other UI elements.
It also makes sure we can properly inhibit the browser from triggering
local actions on key presses.
This restores basic support for Intel AMT servers. They refuse clients
that request more than 16 bits per pixels, so implement a fallback
in just the "Raw" encoding.
The VNC protocol can't handle different deltas or speeds for a mouse
wheel event. When using a device that sends a lot of small mouse wheel
events, instead of fewer larger steps, the effect was that mouse wheel
scrolling was way to sensitive.
This patch looks at the delta of wheel events and doesn't send events
until the combined delta has passed a threshold. Single events that
doesn't pass the threshold get sent after a timeout in order to not
loose any events.
Fixes#577.
Servers will assume that a scan code is present if this message type
is used, so fall back to the standard key event message if we don't
know the scan code.
IE and Edge have some corner cases (e.g. Ctrl+key) where we get
insufficient information in the keydown event, and we never get
a keypress event. Try to make a guess of the key in those cases.
iOS sends decent key down events, but junk key up events when a
hardware keyboard is used. This confuses the key tracking as a
corresponding release is then never detected. To work around this
we'll treat the hardware keyboard like the virtual ones and send
the key release right away.
It doesn't need to be this general as the issue is mostly about
Windows. Also use the same modifier shuffle that RealVNC and
TigerVNC uses to get macOS working well.
The fields provided cannot tell us if it is the left or right
version of the key that's pressed, so they are inherently unreliable.
It is also not a huge problem in practice as we'll get in sync on
the next press or release of the modifier.
Look up keys that are independent of layout and state first,
followed by keys that are only mild variations in layouts.
This is more robust as there might be multiple physical keys
generating the same symbols, and Keysyms don't map directly to
Unicode in all cases.
At the same time switch over to using the modern, standardised
'code' field for lookup.
Use the more modern 'key' field, and remove some legacy fallbacks
that are no longer required. This also removes the "stall" mechanism
as it is not needed with current browsers.
Setting a style to null does restore it in FF, Chrome, Safari and Edge.
But it does not work in Internet Explorer. The proper way to restore to
default values is to set it to the empty string. This works in all
browsers. Fixes issue #808.
If down is false we can't just toggle the current internal state, even
though this is correct most of the time. There are cases where we don't
get the down event and thus won't have a correct internal state. For
example, when clicking in the session after using the clipboard
textarea.
If down is false, we always want to send a mouse event with the button
in 'up'-state.
This commit restructures many of the ES6 modules, splitting them
up to actual export multiple functions instead of a single object.
It also splits up Util into multiple sub-modules, to make it easier
to maintain.
Finally, localisation is renamed to localization.
The only remaining user of WebUtil.load_scripts was for loading
localisation. Instead, we now load the localization information
over XHR as a JSON blob.
