Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-312:
------------------------------------------
While historically we haven't been able to progress on this due to libvncclient
not providing an arbitrary transport, it looks like this may be doable with
libvncclient after all. Checking the various connection functions implemented
as part of libvncclient, all seem to simply assign a file descriptor to
{{client->sock}}. We may be able to have more control over the way connections
are established if we avoid using {{rfbInitClient()}} and instead invoke the
various other functions that {{rfbInitClient()}} itself uses to connect.
Assuming the above is a stable approach, libssh2 can be leveraged to provide
the tunnel, with the actual I/O being handled through read/write calls to
libssh2 within some thread handling read/write to a socketpair associated with
libvncclient's {{client->sock}}.
