Description

The description of this issue was copied from GUAC-1452, an issue in the JIRA instance used by the Guacamole project prior to its acceptance into the Apache Incubator.

Comments, attachments, related issues, and history from prior to acceptance have not been copied and can be found instead at the original issue.

Guacamole-driven applications cannot currently read the text data associated with terminal output from within the browser. At that layer, everything has already been digested into image updates within the Guacamole protocol.

In the same manner as the existing Guacamole-specific OSC sequences within Guacamole's terminal emulator, additional codes could be defined which temporarily redirect output to a pipe stream. With output directed to a pipe stream, JavaScript code running outside the Guacamole client would be able to read data directly (if that output is coming from an application which leverages Guacamole's terminal codes).
