grdpwasm: A Web-Based RDP Client Built with Go WebAssembly
By

The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
A web-based RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) client called grdpwasm that uses Go WebAssembly to connect to Windows Remote Desktop servers directly from a browser without plugins. It uses a lightweight Go proxy server to bridge WebSocket connections from the browser to the RDP server's TCP port, since browsers cannot open raw TCP sockets. The project builds a Go WASM binary, a JavaScript runtime support file, and a WebSocket-to-TCP proxy server.

Because browsers cannot open raw TCP sockets, a lightweight Go proxy server bridges WebSocket connections from the browser to the RDP server's TCP port.
make all produces: static/main.wasm (Go WASM binary), static/wasm_exec.js (Go runtime JS support file), proxy/proxy (WebSocket-to-TCP proxy + static file server)
