wsproxy, wstelnet: wrap command, WS telnet client. wswrapper: Getting the wswrapper.c LD_PRELOAD model working has turned out to involve too many dark corners of the glibc/POSIX file descriptor space. I realized that 95% of what I want can be accomplished by adding a "wrap command" mode to wsproxy. The code is still there for now, but consider it experimental at best. Minor fix to dup2 and add dup and dup3 logging. wsproxy Wrap Command: In wsproxy wrap command mode, a command line is specified instead of a target address and port. wsproxy then uses a much simpler LD_PRELOAD library, rebind.so, to move intercept any bind() system calls made by the program. If the bind() call is for the wsproxy listen port number then the real bind() system call is issued for an alternate (free high) port on loopback/localhost. wsproxy then forwards from the listen address/port to the moved port. The --wrap-mode argument takes three options that determine the behavior of wsproxy when the wrapped command returns an exit code (exit or daemonizing): ignore, exit, respawn. For example, this runs vncserver on turns port 5901 into a WebSockets port (rebind.so must be built first): ./utils/wsproxy.py --wrap-mode=ignore 5901 -- vncserver :1 The vncserver command backgrounds itself so the wrap mode is set to "ignore" so that wsproxy keeps running even after it receives an exit code from vncserver. wstelnet: To demonstrate the wrap command mode, I added WebSockets telnet client. For example, this runs telnetd (krb5-telnetd) on turns port 2023 into a WebSockets port (using "respawn" mode since telnetd exits after each connection closes): sudo ./utils/wsproxy.py --wrap-mode=respawn 2023 -- telnetd -debug 2023 Then the utils/wstelnet.html page can be used to connect to the telnetd server on port 2023. The telnet client includes VT100.js (from http://code.google.com/p/sshconsole) which handles the terminal emulation and rendering. rebind: The rebind LD_PRELOAD library is used by wsproxy in wrap command mode to intercept bind() system calls and move the port to a different port on loopback/localhost. The rebind.so library can be built by running make in the utils directory. The rebind library can be used separately from wsproxy by setting the REBIND_OLD_PORT and REBIND_NEW_PORT environment variables prior to executing a command. For example: export export REBIND_PORT_OLD="23" export export REBIND_PORT_NEW="65023" LD_PRELOAD=./rebind.so telnetd -debug 23 Alternately, the rebind script does the same thing: rebind 23 65023 telnetd -debug 23 Other changes/notes: - wsproxy no longer daemonizes by default. Remove -f/--foreground option and add -D/--deamon option. - When wsproxy is used to wrap a command in "respawn" mode, the command will not be respawn more often than 3 times within 10 seconds. - Move getKeysym routine out of Canvas object so that it can be called directly.
