VNC Web Client implemented using HTML5 (Web Sockets, Canvas)
|
|
|
|
In order to use the client you need to use the python proxy. There are
|
|
a couple reasons for this:
|
|
|
|
- Web Sockets is not a pure socket protocol. There is an initial HTTP
|
|
like handshake to allow easy hand-off by web servers and allow some
|
|
origin policy exchange. Also, each Web Sockets frame begins with
|
|
0 ('\x00') and ends with 255 ('\xff').
|
|
|
|
- Javascript itself does not have the ability to handle pure byte
|
|
strings (Unicode encoding messes with it) even though you can read
|
|
them with Web Sockets. The python proxy base64 encodes the data so
|
|
that the Javascript client can base64 decode the data into an array.
|
|
|
|
The python proxy is run like this:
|
|
|
|
./wsproxy.py <listen_port> <remote_host> <remote_port>
|
|
|
|
You then point the client at the listen_port on the host where the
|
|
wsproxy.py command is running.
