On the client side, this adds the as3crypto library to web-socket-js
so that the WebSocket 'wss://' scheme is supported which is WebSocket
over SSL/TLS.
Couple of downsides to the fall-back method:
- This balloons the size of the web-socket-js object from about 12K to 172K.
- Getting it working required disabling RFC2718 web proxy support
in web-socket-js.
- It makes the web-socket-js fallback even slower with the
encryption overhead.
The server side (wsproxy.py) uses python SSL support. The proxy
automatically detects the type of incoming connection whether flash
policy request, SSL/TLS handshake ('wss://') or plain socket
('ws://').
Also added a check-box to the web page to enable/disabled 'wss://'
encryption.
- All state/status updates go through updateState routine which
updates the status line also.
- Old firefox (and opera) don't support canvas createImageData, so use
getImageData as replacement.
- Add console.warn and console.error stubs so that firefox without
firebug doesn't crap out.
- If no WebSockets then error if no flash or if URL is location (flash
will refuse to load the object for security reasons).
- web-socket-js is from http://github.com/gimite/web-socket-js. It is
a flash object that emultates WebSockets.
Unfortunately, events (or packets) from the web-socket-js object can
get re-ordered so we need to know the packet order.
- So wsproxy.py prepends the sequence number of the packet when
sending.
- If the client receives packets out of order it queues them up and
scans the queue for the sequence number it's looking for until
things are back on track. Gross, but hey: It works!
- Also, add packet sequence checking to wstest.*
- A textarea below the VNC area represents the state of the current
VNC clipboard. If there is a server cut event, the textarea will be
updated. If the user updates the contents of the textarea, the new
data will be sent as a client paste (cut) event.
- One important change was to detect if the clipboard is focused and
allow the user to type in the clipboard instead of in the VNC area.
