Hi,

I’m investigating alternatives for “clientless" streaming of Windows
desktops to a web browser. Apache Guacamole appear to already support this
through its FreeRDP backend. This is nice, but it require a separate server
for translation between RDP and the Guacamole protocol. I would be much
simpler if the web browser could instead act as RDP client directly,
without any intermediate servers for protocol translation.

I've read about http://webassembly.org/ (WASM), which allow deployment of
C/C++ programs inside web browsers at near-native speed. In connection to
that, I'm wondering if anyone are looking into adding WASM support, so that
FreeRDP can be compiled to run directly inside a web browser?

There will probably still be a need for tunneling RDP traffic through a
WebSocket in a WASM setup. However, that's significantly less invasive,
compared to protocol translation.


Best regards,
Fredrik Orderud
