libvncclient: add hooks for custom socket I/O #477
Conversation
|
Am currently on vacation, can review end of July - how does this relate to / replace #234? |
|
It's related partially only since it proposes changes to the RFB protocol for negotiating TLS. This PR is much more generic and not even TLS related, TLS is just a use case. |

IIRC this is about generic tunneling, an example of how to make use of this would be super helpful. |

I need a connect hook to negotiate with a proxy server before handing the connection to libvncclient. I rolled my own before seeing this one. The ConnectToRFBServer hook proposed here would meet my need. |
This allows using libvncclient on any kind of custom transport, e.g. for TLS tunneling via a special TLS socket implementation.

I'm back working on this topic, specifically to make libvncclient usable with a custom Websocket implementation. @bk138: you mentioned an example would be helpful. Should I add a file in client/examples using the new callbacks? Alternatively I could extend the Qt example to work with QWebSockets (which would be my use case as well). |

Hi Toby, |
This allows using libvncclient on any kind of custom transport, e.g. for TLS tunneling via a special TLS socket implementation. May be the function pointer / hook names can be improved to better reflect the actual purpose.
