Is anybody doing any telnet from the bb web pages. I have a number of
devices that I'd like to launch a telnet session to from the bb device page.
I added a custom page that had links to the IP/hostname of the form:
telnet://IP
This does require configuring your browser to launch the application of
your choice on the telnet:// identifier (I have not seen nor heard of an
ssh:// identifier.)
Other ways of doing something similar - a Java-based ssh/telnet emulator
that can be embedded in HTML. Then you could simply create an index.html
in the $BB/www/html directory that has the loads the Java emulator. I've
never tried this but "it should work in throey."
Create a custom MIME-type, something like application/x-ssh and generate a
plain text file containing the hostname/IP, port, encryption method, etc.
and configure the browser to launch your favorite telnet/ssh client,
passing the parameters appropriately. Again, I';ve never tried this. With
a bit of Javascript, I'm sure something can be whipped up for
Mozilla/Netscape and some VBScript for IE (links/lynx - hey, you've got
the source.)
