Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-57:
----------------------------------------

For HTTP/HTTPS, I think (but may be wrong) that the client should use the
browser engine and guacd should then act as a basic transparent proxy used for
tunnelling packets between the guacamole client and the target system.

Which, to Mike's point, puts this outside the scope of Guacamole, at the very
least for guacd. guacd is specifically designed to translate between the
Guacamole protocol and the back-end display protocols. There are other pieces
of software out there that are already designed to do the job of transparently
proxying HTTP(S) traffic - adding that functionality to guacd seems to make it
into something other than "guacd" :-).
> New connection type "HTTP/HTTPS"

> Key: GUACAMOLE-57

> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Erik Pope
> Priority: Trivial

> I would love to see a new connection type "HTTP/HTTPS" Kind of like a web
> proxy.
> I use this tool for remote administration. Being able to access local only
> Admin Web pages would make this very useful.
> Some firewalls have web only management, Intranets, Local web apps, could all
> be accessed through this tool.
> I think this would be a killer addition.
> By the way this is an amazing program thanks for all the hard work on this
> project.
