Hi all,
I have spent several months in learning the source code of vnc
free edition. Now I'm trying to get codes of some other thin client
systems.I know VNC is a partly open source project, and X is also
open source. But X is over complex and may cost me much time in
learning it. Is there any other choice? I just want to know the
details in the protocols. VNC is a pixel-based system. It delivers
pixel in different encoding forms through the network.There are also
some other protocols which send drawing commands to the client, such
as X, SunRay.
Is there any suggestion?
Thank you for any help!
There are a lot of other protocols for thin clients. Arguably the two
most important standards based thin client protocols are ITU-T T.120;
and the various RFCs and recommendations that comprise HTTP and HTML.
But there are dozens of older (and newer) alternatives to these.
Consider for example that for years Prodigy ran their Internet service
using NAPLPS, or that VT100 emulation is still the defacto standard
for all character oriented thin clients to most Unix terminal
applications.
If you are specifically asking for graphical protocols, you may also
want to look at Windoze Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
You can find an open source client at: http://rdesktop.sourceforge.net,
and a server implementation at: http://xrdp.sourceforge.net.
