HTML5 Client

You can access the current version of the HTML5 client here: http://xpra.org/html5/connect.html.

To setup your xpra server with HTML5 support:

you must have websockify installed
use both the bind-tcp=... and the html=on flags on the command line, ie:
```
xpra start --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:14500 --html=on --start=xterm
```

You can then point your browser to http://localhost:14500/ and the xterm should appear in your browser window.

Password Authentication

You can use authentication by supplying the values on the URL.

Connecting to a server started with:

echo -n 123456 > ./password.txt
$ xpra start --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:14500 --start=xterm --html=on \
    --auth=file --password-file=./password.txt

As user test, you can then connect with the following URL:

http://localhost:14500/index.html?username=test&password=123456

Encryption

The easiest and safest way to encrypt traffic is to use SSL (https / wss)

AES

Alternative (no longer supported): the following commands will setup an HTML5 server with AES encryption and password authentication then launch a browser and connect to it:

PASSWORD=YOURPASSWORD
AES_KEY=0123456789ABCDEF
echo -n $PASSWORD > password.txt
echo -n $AES_KEY > aes.txt
xpra start :10 --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:14500 --html=on --start=xterm \
    --auth=file --password-file=`pwd`/password.txt \
    --tcp-encryption=AES --tcp-encryption-keyfile=`pwd`/aes.txt
sleep 5
xdg-open "http://localhost:14500/index.html?username=$USER&password=$PASSWORD&encryption=AES&key=$AES_KEY"
