Description

When connecting to an RDP server using Guacamole on a touch-enabled device, touch events are translated into mouse events according to the selected mouse emulation mode. This is intentional, but could be improved for those RDP servers that support touch events by adding support for the RDPEI channel.

The RDP protocol has specific support for multi-touch events via RDPEI. Adding support for this channel would allow Guacamole to pass through client-side touch events, allowing normal and direct touch interaction with remote applications that support touch.
