The problem is no aesthetic but of design and productivity.
HTML was designed to display documents and close connection, thus it has no concept of session, the session ends when you display the page and close connection. Cookies came to keep some data from session to session. Later came websockets etc. All are dirty patches to convert the initial design as displayer into a GUI. You started with bicycle, you added an engine, later four wheels, later a chassis, and now you have a car. Xwindows is too low level, no widget.... VNC is no really a remote GUI (the server admits just one connection), Microsoft remote desktop is a good solution, but it's tied to windows. The monster ERP SAP has it's own GUI <https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_GUI>, that is the way. The world needs really bad a standard remote GUI protocol that can run on any graphic/OS. There have been some tries: XUL, Fresco <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresco_%28windowing_system%29>, and others I've never heard about. > > Regards, > Graeme > -- Saludos Santi [email protected]
