vnc.html vs vnc_auto.html?

[Roy Dragseth]

It seems like vnc.html is more feature rich than vnc_auto.html when it comes to detect clients without physical keyboards like tablets and phones.  Is it possible to have the same functionality in both vnc.html and vnc_auto.html?

I would like to be able to link directly to a vnc session from an external page and vnc_auto.html does just that. Is it possible to do the same by using form args to vnc.html and make it bypass the initial screen with the balloon menu?

Regards,

Roy

There's not a lot of traffic here as you can see but thought I'd chime in.

What we did was piece together what we actually needed from both files into our own UI.  If you are familiar enough with javascript, you should be able to get it to do whatever you need.

vnc_auto.html was originally intended to show the minimal page/code that you needed in order to have a functioning client. Better naming that would have reflected my original intentions better would be vnc_minimal.html and vnc_ui.html. Additionally, it was always my intention that integrators would create a custom landing page based on some combination of vnc.html and vnc_auto.html (i.e. what Luke did). In regards to your specific question, if you add autoconnect=true as a query parameter to vnc.html (along with your connection settings), then it should connect immediately. E.g.

    vnc.html?autoconnect=true&host=HOST&port=PORT&password=PASSWORD&encrypt=true
