Hi again,

I know the Guacamole devs don't want to implement a "VPN-like" web portal to 
access other protocols such as HTTP/HTTPS and FTP (discussed before), but I'd 
like to know if anyone here has any thoughts/experience regarding a 
guacamole-like portal such as:

This commercial product offers basically the same features as Guacamole (except 
for the fact that telnet, vnc and rdp require a plug-in which I dislike) with 
the added support for HTTP/HTTPS and FTP services. 

I'm struggling to keep using open-source projects whenever possible, but not 
everyone is on my side :-(. I'd like to keep using Guacamole (because it simply 
works great), and for that I'd need to argue why. The only missing piece for me 
is really HTTP, and I'm wondering how this commercial product is implementing 
it. As previously commented in this thread, it's hard to imagine that it's 
implemented as "HTML to image rendering" (but possible). It may also be simply 
a reverse proxy setup (which could be implemented with other open-source 
projects), but it doesn't seem to be. Does anyone have experience with this or 
similar products (regarding HTTP)?

I am trying to make a custom extension where I add URLs to my guacamole portal 
which simply point to Apache HTTPS reverse proxies. However, I'm not sure this 
solution competes effectively with the commercial product I've cited.

Any ideas are very welcome.

Vieri
