Hi List, 
I guess it would be possible with Conkeror to attach to a remote gnu
screen or tmux process that runs an editor, using the appropriate screen
or tmux command with the remote url as shell command. 

Then (an exotic idea, I admit) wouldn't it be possible to leave
authentication, session management and all the interactive stuff to the
screen session and show only static html, if the terminal window could
be integrated/attached to the Conkeror window in a way the user doesn't
notice that there are two different application at work. 

For example, if the minibuffer could switch to the remote terminal
session and the white space in the minibuffer is then actually a file on
the remote server opened in the Zile editor, input areas and textfields
in the html code could be replaced by input/output in the minibuffer.

If that would be technically possible - would it be a good idea? Even
when the remote Zile would be run as a underpriviledged user with only minimal
rights, wouldn't it be a security issue to let a user attach to such a
screen session? 

Maybe all this is only science-fiction, but I'm at least curios if it
could be done.

Thorsten
