We've been asked many times about adding HTTP(S) rendering to Guacamole, and there are many, many challenges to this that we believe are out-of-scope for a remote desktop client. If you need to provide access to a web page, there are a couple of things you can consider: * Use an existing reverse proxy (Nginx, for example) to provide access to the web page. You can integrate the proxy into the solution hosting Guacamole so that you have a single point of access, but you'll need to do other access control outside of Guacamole). * Use a remote desktop server of some sort (Windows with RDP, Linux with xrdp, Linux with VNC) to host a web browser that opens the site that you want. I've done this recently to help support some legacy Flash applications using Linux + xrdp and then launch Firefox in Kiosk mode, which gives you a fairly seamless user experience. You can allow access to this server with Guacamole, and use authentication pass-through (if using LDAP/AD) so that users can access the sessions via Guacamole. -Nick >
