Bug in the RFB spec.

2007-05-11 Thread Peter Rosin
Hi list! While implementing some vnc software I noticed a problem in the RFB spec (version 3.8, 5 October 2006). It fails to mention that there is no security result for authentication method 'None' for protocol version 3.3. As this differs from at least version 3.8 I think there should be some wo

Request for numbers for gii protocol extension.

2007-06-05 Thread Peter Rosin
Hi! I have a working version of an RFB protocol extension, one of the things missing before I publish is what numbers I should use. I need one pseudo-encoding, one server->client message and one client->server message, all can go under the name gii (General Input Interface) in the protocol spec.

Encoding number clash (TRLE == BackChannel).

2007-06-14 Thread Peter Rosin
Hi! I just had a look at the latest RFB protocol spec and noticed a new encoding TRLE with encoding number 15. Just a heads up, this encoding number seems to have been previously used by LibVNCServer for something called a "BackChannel" (whatever that is...) Cheers, Peter
