Daniel Henrique Barboza 8d09ab06f4 QEMU RFB extension - rfb.js and input.js changes 
In input.js, a new keyboard handler was added to deal exclusively
with the QEMU key event extension. '_onKeyPress()' signature
was changed to allow the same method to treat both cases.

The extension will only be enabled if the browser has support
for the KeyboardEvent.code property.

Changes in rfb.js:

- added a new extension code, QEMUExtendedKeyEvent, value -258.

- handleKeyPress now receives 'keyevent' instead of 'keysym' and
'down'. Both values are retrieved from keyevent as they were
in the previous signature. This method now can send QEMU RFB
extended key messages if the flag was set to 'true'.

- tests/test.rfb.js were changed folowing the onKeyPress() signature
change.

- added a new function to send the QEMU extended key message.

Browser Requirements

  • HTML5 Canvas (with createImageData): Chrome, Firefox 3.6+, iOS Safari, Opera 11+, Internet Explorer 9+, etc.

  • HTML5 WebSockets and Typed Arrays

  • Fast Javascript Engine: this is not strictly a requirement, but without a fast Javascript engine, noVNC might be painfully slow.

  • See the more detailed browser compatibility wiki page.

Server Requirements

Unless you are using a VNC server with support for WebSockets connections (such as x11vnc/libvncserver, QEMU, or PocketVNC), you need to use a WebSockets to TCP socket proxy. There is a python proxy included ('websockify').

Quick Start

  • Use the launch script to start a mini-webserver and the WebSockets proxy (websockify). The --vnc option is used to specify the location of a running VNC server:

    ./utils/launch.sh --vnc localhost:5901

  • Point your browser to the cut-and-paste URL that is output by the launch script. Enter a password if the VNC server has one configured. Hit the Connect button and enjoy!
